The main instrument for a sustainable and inclusive growth is assumed to be productive employment Employment growth generates new jobs and income for the individual - from wages in all types of firms, or from self employment, usually in micro firms - while productivity growth has the potential to lift the wages of those employed and the returns to the self-employed. After all, in many low-income countries the problem is not unemployment, but rather underemployment. Hence, inclusive growth is not only about employment growth, but also about productivity growth
Moreover, it is not only about wage-employment but also about self-employment which means that returns to capital, land and other assets matter to the income potential of the focus group as shown in the identity above.
