Studies on Growth with Equity: Tunisia
Studies on Growth with Equity - Tunisia: A New Social Contract for Fair and Equitable Growth
27 June 2011
Tunisia, the country at the forefront of the “Arab Spring”, is a stark example of the fragility of an economic system based on an inefficient growth model. In spite of the country’s strong growth and apparently stable macroeconomic environment,the benefits of growth were unevenly distributed. There was widespread inequality, high unemployment, rampant clientelism, and limited opportunities for decent work. The events have opened a window of opportunity by creating space for a policy debate on building an inclusive model of development. The purpose of this Report is, first, to provide an in-depth analysis of the contradictions that characterized inequitable growth. Second, the Report puts forward ideas for a new development model for Tunisia, based on equal economic and social opportunities, and therefore shared prosperity.
