Inclusion matters : the foundation for shared prosperity.

Social inclusion is many things to many people. A new report, Inclusion Matters: The Foundation for Shared Prosperity, will be launched ahead of the World Bank Group/IMF Annual Meetings.

Social inclusion is embedded in the World Bank's twin goals - it matters to ending extreme poverty because some groups are over-represented among the extreme poor, and it matters to creating shared prosperity because growth can leave some people behind
