The primary intension behind this study is to assess and compare policies that deliver inclusive outcomes to economic growth and development across economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The EU and Norway (the most inclusive country in 2018) were added into the study as a benchmark countries. As a result of the comparative analysis based on the World Economic Forum Inclusive Growth Policy and Institution Framework, we argue in favor of policies that would increase broad-based human economic opportunities and consequently both equality, and economic well-being of CEE economies. Positive strong influence on inclusive growth and development is associated with the employment and labor compensation policy that allows people directly increase their incomes; the basic services and infrastructure policy which is a necessary ground for present and future human and economic development; the asset building and entrepreneurship policy should provide diminishing inequality and rising economic opportunities by fostering medium and small business creation and enlarging possibilities of home and other asset ownership. In addition, an effective and inclusive redistribution state system of CEE economies should accentuate on supporting broad-based economic opportunities (like productive employment possibilities, asset building and entrepreneurship possibilities), along with infrastructure and human basic services development, rather than solely on social fiscal transfers.

AbstractThe Hutubi Rural Social Security Loan programme is a policy innovation in a rural area of China, which loans savings in social security accounts back to peasants for them to buy assets for agricultural and other development. In contrast to the nationwide recession in rural social security, this programme has shown its success in proliferating rural social security funds and retaining social security participants. With a focus on the administrative data of the loan programme, this study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the loan programme and examine how asset building is possible for the poor when institutional incentives are offered. The findings show that when proper policy incentives are provided, poor peasants can build assets. The Hutubi programme may be a good model for other rural areas in China and other developing countries.
