Inclusive Growth in Australia overturns two decades of assumptions
that social policy is wasteful and a source of dependency. It
reflects a global resurgence of the understanding that an active
and effective social policy regime is vital not only for a
flourishing society, but also for a strong economy. It explains
this new paradigm of inclusive growth and shows how it can be
implemented in Australia.Inclusive growth dismantles the idea that
social development will automatically trickle down from
untrammelled market based growth. Rather, growth must be managed so
that it is employment centred, broad based across sectors and with
a social security system promoting sustainability and equality of
opportunity. The editors argue that productivity is 'nearly
everything' when it comes to raising living standards. So while
social policies will be about goals other than the economy, they
must demonstrate their compatibility with an economic growth
strategy.With contributions from leading national and international
experts in the field including Marian Baird, Grant Belchamber,
Gerald Burke, Saul Eslake, Roy Green and Peter Whiteford, Inclusive
Growth in Australia shows that 'welfare state' spending is as much
an economic investment as a measure of social protection. Written
for policy makers, industry and NGOs as well as students, Inclusive
Growth in Australia locates Australian economic and social policy
within the most important emergent themes shaping international
debate.
