Summary:

"Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, Rethinking Economic Transformation for Sustainable and Inclusive Development explores important environmental, economic and employment issues and policies for generating inclusive growth. Addressing the realities of ongoing climate change and biodiversity loss, it proposes solutions to these challenges. This timely book takes a fresh interdisciplinary approach to transforming economic structures so as to increase the number of productive jobs and examines past and current development pathways to create a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient future. Providing policymakers and organizations with informed guidance, the expert contributors offer innovative solutions to pressing challenges, such as how developing countries can rethink policy instruments and economic steering mechanisms. They also examine how structural transformation can be used to promote growth and skills through the use of green industrial policies. This invaluable read is a must for scholars, development practitioners and policymakers of sustainable and inclusive development looking for a comprehensive resource that can be applied today and for years to come"-- Provided by publisher.
