| Summary: | Georgia has an impressive record of
reforms and is on a steady track of poverty reduction,
butensuring that of its all citizens can equally benefit
from and contribute to its development remains a challenge.
This study focuses on one particular aspect of Georgia’s
path to inclusive growth: social inclusion. It uses the
concepts of social inclusion and exclusion to help
understand why some members of society may be consistently
left behind from the development process, and to provide
insights into policies that can have a transformational
impact on the situation of systematically disadvantaged
groups and individuals. Social exclusion implies that
certain members of society, due to their social or cultural
identity, may face complex barriers and, due to them, have
persistently lower outcomes— e.g., access to quality
education, health, employment, and income—relative to the
rest of society, thus not achieving their full potential. |
