Item Restricted Comparing the inclusiveness of economic growth in the Ramos and Arroyo administrations(2015-06) Ruiz, Karen P.Inclusiveness of growth depends on the availability of economic and social opportunities, and the extent to which these opportunities are distributed across society. This paper applies a methodology using mobility/opportunity index and equity index to assess inclusivity. Based on the principles of social welfare and opportunity functions in measuring inclusive growth, this paper establishes that the high growth episodes experienced in the Philippines in effect increased income and expenditure of individuals from different income levels but did not increase opportunities available for employment. Equity was not improved also as there is no change seen in the manner of distribution, which tends to benefit the rich more than the poor.
