THE OECD INCLUSIVE GROWTH
FRAMEWORK
Paul Schreyer Deputy Director OECD Statistics Directorate OECD/ESCAP/ADB Regional Consultation on Inclusive Growth in Southeast Asia Bangkok, 9 June 2015

Ensure that growth goes hand-in hand with improvements in people’s living conditions
Policies need to target multiple objectives simultaneously, not just GDP
Need new metrics • Aspects beyond income
• Distribution
Need to revisit our models • Integrate multidimensionality and interactions
The issue

• A 3-pronged approach:
– Which growth? -> Multidimensional
– Whose growth? -> Distributions
– What drivers? -> Policy relevance
Defining Inclusive Growth

• Measuring evolution of income, health, employment of particular parts of the population:
• Median households
• Bottom 10%
• Being able to assess the net effect of policies on these variables
• Drawing conclusions for governance, institutions and policy design

Whose growth?
![Page 6: THE OECD INCLUSIVE GROWTH FRAMEWORK 1.pdf · Note: OECD calculations based on OECD National Accounts, Health and Income Distribution databases. … and 2012 MLS levels-25000-15000-5000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042513/5f399df11827a14cc26d3428/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• For assessment of net effects of policies, we need common units
• Translate changes in health or jobs into income equivalents
• Econometric techniques, well-researched
• Life assessment = f(income, health, jobs)
• Valuation in money terms 1 year of life expectancy = 5% of income
1 point of unemployment = 2% of income
• Weights are conservative and standard and representative of peoples (implicit) preferences
• Measure of multi-dimensional living standards

How do we measure?

Inequality Unemployment Longevity Income Living standards
Living standard of the median household (OECD average)
USD per capita USA higher income levels than AUS But overcompensated by differences in LE and inequality
![Page 10: THE OECD INCLUSIVE GROWTH FRAMEWORK 1.pdf · Note: OECD calculations based on OECD National Accounts, Health and Income Distribution databases. … and 2012 MLS levels-25000-15000-5000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042513/5f399df11827a14cc26d3428/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Quantifying policy transmission:
example GDP and household income
Long experience about policy effects on GDP per capita
But much less on HH income
GDP growth has trickled down less since the mid-1980s.
The gap may reflect differential impact of pro-growth policies on household disposable incomes
Different effects for different social groups along the
distribution of income.
![Page 11: THE OECD INCLUSIVE GROWTH FRAMEWORK 1.pdf · Note: OECD calculations based on OECD National Accounts, Health and Income Distribution databases. … and 2012 MLS levels-25000-15000-5000](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042513/5f399df11827a14cc26d3428/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gains in GDP have not fully trickled down to
household incomes
(on average since the mid-1980s)
The elasticity of household disposable income to GDP per capita has been even lower at the bottom end of the distribution pointing to growing inequality.

Work ahead
• Further quantifying policy effects on health and jobs and computing net effects
• Health and Unemployment inequalities: monetisation allows combining with income inequalities
• Adding education -> ‘welfare return to education’ as opposed to income return to education
