'Inclusive Growth, Full Employment, and Structural Change:
Implications and Policies for Developing Asia' discusses policies
to achieve inclusive growth in developing Asia, including
agriculture, investment, certain state interventions, monetary,
fiscal, and the role of the state as employer of last resort.
Felipe argues that full employment of the labor force is the key
to delivering inclusive growth. Full employment is the most direct
way to improve the well-being of the people, especially of the most
disadvantaged. Since unemployment and underemployment are pervasive
in many parts of the region, Asian leaders must commit to the goal
of full employment. The book also analyzes the region's phenomenal
growth in recent decades in terms of structural transformation.
Accelerating it is vital for the continued growth of developing
Asia. But efforts to achieve full employment might be held back
given that structural transformation requires massive labor shifts
across sectors, and these are difficult to coordinate. Moreover,
the goal of full employment was abandoned in the 1970s, and
governments and central banks have since concentrated on keeping
inflation low.
