Abstract

This study seeks to show how disaggregate profiles of welfare dimension of ‘inclusive growth’ could provide useful public policy insights in formulating development strategies. The disaggregate profile is defined with respect to regions and social groups. The study proposes concepts and illustrates with empirical estimates of measures of inclusion/exclusion and mainstreaming/marginalization for the six National Sample Survey (NSS) regions, and four social groups in rural and urban Maharashtra. The information base is the NSS estimates of household per capita consumer expenditure distribution for the two periods 2004–2005 and 2011–2012, respectively. The findings on outcomes show that the development experience of Maharashtra does not hold much promise on the inclusive growth front.
