Inclusion Economics Research Areas
Advancing inclusion and justice through research focused on women, climate and governance
Inclusion Economics research draws insights, frameworks, and approaches from multiple disciplines – economics, political science, and more – to answer questions central to building inclusive, accountable, and sustainable economies and societies. We conduct our research primarily through multi-year studies and policy engagements in close collaboration with government or practitioner organization counterparts to enable a direct path to impact and scale-up.
