Insights into inclusive growth, employment and wellbeing in India

The book focuses on a number of inter-connected issues relating to pro-poor growth, e.g., while talking about the composition of growth and its relevance in the context of poverty reduction, it also analyses the causes of path differences and their impact on employment generation and levels of living
It draws evidence both at the international level and at the national level
It does not remain confined to the domain of pure economics only as it looks into issues on networks and upward mobility in explaining rural-to-urban migration and changes in well-being levels
