Lesson Plan

• Define inclusive economic growth and list its key characteristics.
• Explain how inclusive growth differs from simple GDP growth by using appropriate indicators.
• Analyse the link between inclusive growth and sustainability (social, environmental, economic).
• Evaluate policy instruments that can promote inclusive growth.

• Projector and screen
• PowerPoint slides covering definition, indicators, and policies
• Handout summarising key indicators and policy tools
• Whiteboard and markers
• Student worksheets for group activities
• Sticky notes for exit tickets

Start with a quick poll: ask students to list ways economic growth can benefit society. Connect this to their prior knowledge of GDP growth from earlier lessons. Explain that today they will explore how growth can be inclusive and sustainable, and by the end they will be able to define the concept, identify key indicators, and evaluate relevant policies.

1. Do‑now (5') – poll question on growth benefits; record responses on the board.
2. Mini‑lecture (10') – present definition of inclusive economic growth and its characteristics using slides.
3. Indicator exploration (12') – small groups analyse the indicator table, complete worksheet, and discuss findings.
4. Link to sustainability (8') – whole‑class discussion of why inclusive growth matters for the SDGs.
5. Policy instruments activity (10') – groups match policies to objectives, then present brief summaries.
6. Check for understanding (5') – quick quiz or sticky‑note exit ticket on key concepts.

Recap that inclusive growth combines higher output with broader sharing, is measured by multiple indicators, and can be fostered through targeted policies. For the exit ticket, students write one indicator they find most useful and why. Homework: read a short article on a country’s inclusive growth strategy and prepare a one‑page reflection.
