PIOJ Launches Inclusive Growth Index Framework

The Planning Institute of Jamaica has launched the Inclusive Growth Index Framework allowing for a comprehensive measurement tool for growth.

The index, developed by the PIOJ's Growth Inducement Programme, provides a more comprehensive understanding of the inter-relatedness of key drivers of growth specific to Jamaica.

Director General of the PIOJ, Dr. Wayne Henry, says the Inclusive Growth Index Framework encapsulates critical focus areas, including equality and equity, health, human capital, environmental quality, social protection, safety and security, and wealth.

Dr Henry says the launch marks a significant milestone in Jamaica's development, as the PIOJ officially presents a powerful new tool created to significantly increase the country's ability to achieve the goals and targets outlined in Vision 2030.
