Inclusive development is a multidimensional concept and research field focused on ensuring that all members of society participate in and benefit equitably from the development process, irrespective of their background or circumstances. It investigates the structural causes of exclusion and inequality, examining policies, institutions, and processes to identify and implement strategies that promote broad-based participation, equal opportunities, and equitable distribution of resources and outcomes, thereby fostering sustainable, resilient, and socially just development pathways.
