This book addresses the overarching theme of promoting inclusive and sustainable development through twelve contributions that discuss perspectives from emerging economies and policies for a better world.

The first section contains two chapters that deal with employment and labour markets. In the second section, there are four contributions that discuss capabilities (education and health) and their roles in intergenerational mobility, contributing to poverty reduction and inclusive development.
