Argument that even with some inequality growth is necessary to eradicate poverty
Directive:
Discuss – This is an all-encompassing directive – you must debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You must give reasons for both for and against arguments.
Structure of the answer:
Introduction:
Define Inequality and inclusive growth
Body:
Argue why perfect equality is not necessarily desirable:
But if we aim for equality of outcomes which is regardless of merit the outcome achieved by all should be the same, then it spoils the economy. Since both meritorious and undeserving will get the same benefits there will be no motive to contribute and innovation will be nil. Such an economy will not generate any value (GVA) and everyone would be a free-rider e.g. the concept of the welfare state in which freebies culture suppresses economic activity and fosters laziness.
Then Argue about India’s economic model of growth to achieve inclusive growth:
India after LPG reforms grew at 8% and also in double-digit. Inequality in asset holdings indeed occurs and it is widening. But inequality that affects basic living is not worse as we think. States with more inequality in assets also have wider access or universal access to healthcare and education eg. Punjab, Haryana, Kerala, TN, etc.
Economic survey 2021 statistically proven that regions with more income inequality also are the good performers in health index, education index, or sanitation outcomes.
Thus, only income inequality is widening but with the capitalistic growth socio-economic indicators are becoming better.
Poverty is worse than inequality. In India, the growth process indeed widened income inequality but it eradicated millions out of poverty, as WB said, India is credited with the world’s fastest poverty reduction after LPG reforms. So, it is argued that the present growth model should not bother us because though income inequality is increasing poverty is reducing.
Conclusion:
Conclude with a balanced viewpoint.
