Integrating Economic and Social Policy
In the new thinking on competitiveness, there is no inherent conflict
between economic and social policy
Economic
Policy
Social
Policy
A productive and growing economy requires:
Rising skill levels
- Safe working conditions
- Healthy workers who live in decent housing in safe neighborhoods
- A sense of equal opportunity
- Assimilation of underemployed citizens into the productive workforce
- Low levels of pollution (pollution is a sign of unproductive use of physical
resources)
"Social" policies must be aligned with productivity in the economy and
prepare and motivate citizens to succeed in the market system
"Economic❞ policies must include explicit programs to raise human capability
and improve the lives and the sense of opportunity for citizens
