Subject: Economics
Lesson Topic: policies to promote inclusive growth
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe how fiscal, monetary, supply‑side, human‑capital and environmental policies can foster inclusive growth.
  • Explain the relationship between productivity, equity and environmental sustainability in the growth process.
  • Analyse policy impacts using indicators such as GDP per capita, Gini coefficient, employment rates and CO₂ emissions.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of a given policy mix in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector and screen
  • PowerPoint slides summarising policy areas
  • Printed handout of the policy table
  • Worksheet for group analysis
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Calculators or spreadsheet access
  • Online data source links (World Bank, OECD)
 Introduction:

Begin with a quick poll: “What does ‘growth’ mean if only a few people benefit?” Students recall previous lessons on economic growth and inequality. Explain that today they will identify policies that make growth both sustainable and shared, and will be able to assess their impact using key indicators.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5’) – Match definitions of inclusive growth, productivity, equity, and sustainability.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Overview of policy areas (fiscal, monetary, supply‑side, human‑capital, environmental) and their objectives.
  3. Group activity (15’) – Teams analyse one policy area from the table, fill a worksheet noting objectives, instruments, and expected inclusivity impact.
  4. Whole‑class share (10’) – Groups present findings; teacher highlights connections between policies.
  5. Indicator exercise (10’) – Students match each policy to appropriate quantitative indicators and discuss trade‑offs.
  6. Check for understanding (5’) – Quick Kahoot quiz on key concepts.
Conclusion:

Summarise that inclusive growth requires coordinated fiscal, monetary, supply‑side, human‑capital and environmental policies, measured by both economic and equity indicators. For the exit ticket, learners write one policy they would prioritize and justify its inclusive impact. Homework: research a real‑world example of an inclusive growth policy and prepare a brief summary.
