Analytical Assessment of Inclusive Growth in Bangladesh
Methodology
Design of the inclusive growth index
Pros and cons of several other composite indices (i.e. HDI, MPI) were taken into
cognisance
This paper's approach was profoundly influenced by 'The Inclusive Growth and
Development Report 2015' from World Economic Forum and 'Inclusive Growth Criteria
and Indicators: An Inclusive Growth Index for Diagnosis of Country Progress' from ADB
The assessment for Bangladesh was built on 7 pillars and 42 indicators, having equal
number of indicators (6) for each dimension
The pillars, and indicators under each pillar were selected based on the theoretical
framework keeping the developing country context under purview. The recent list of
sustainable development goals (SDG) indicators also influenced selection of the indicators
Seven countries including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and
Cambodia were selected for cross country comparison on the chosen indicators
Three discrete time periods (2000, 2005 and 2010) were chosen for the comparison based
on data availability
