Inclusive Innovation: Harnessing Creativity to Enhance the Economic Opportunities and Welfare of the Poor

Abstract

In recent decades, technological innovation has led to increased productivity, higher economic growth, and vastly improved living conditions around the globe, lifting millions out of poverty. Yet, access to the fruits of this rapid development has been uneven, with a large share of the world’s population not benefiting from these advances. Nearly 2.5 billion people live on less than US$2 a day (see Table 15.1). More than 35 percent of the population does not have access to basic sanitation facilities and 22 percent does not have access to electricity (World Bank, 2014). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
