Social Inclusion in Macro-Level Diagnostics : Reflecting on the World Bank Group's Early Systematic Country Diagnostics


== Abstract ==

The idea of social inclusion has             garnered considerable attention, especially in the context             of two recent developments: the Sustainable Development             Goals and the heightened attention to inequality.
