Built for All

A global framework for building inclusive economies

Part One

Our economic past

Over the last 75 years, a growing global economy enabled billions to lift themselves out of poverty. It fueled material prosperity and improvements in health, literacy, and nutrition. It contributed to rising living standards, significant advances in technology, and soaring innovation.

On average, the impact of this unprecedented economic transformation was positive for humanity. However, a deeper look shows that vast segments of the population have not shared in the ownership and the benefits of many decades of economic growth.

Amidst a global pandemic and resulting economic downturn, we are unequivocally exposed to vast differences in financial security, job fragility, and access to opportunities, both between and within nations. Now is the time to work together, across all sectors, in the urgent task of building a better, more inclusive world.

We asked the experts: how do we build a better economy?

Over the last six months, the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and the Centre for Public Impact led a collaborative exercise to gather insights from Nobel laureates, heads of international organizations, and some of the world’s leading thinkers across sectors. We asked the experts: What is wrong with the economy? How can we fix it? And we summarized what we heard in Built for All. Insightful and lengthy conversations amongst the different contributors ultimately landed around a ‘north star’ as to what might constitute an inclusive economy.

Our expert panel identified four pressing systemic challenges that have perpetuated economic exclusion:

Structural forms of exclusion, based on personal characteristics, which unnecessarily limit economic potential.

A fractured social contract as the terms of worker participation in the economy—including wage growth, social benefits, and the availability of good jobs—have deteriorated.

Mounting wealth and opportunity gaps decrease the portion of society with an invested stake in the future success of the economy, creating more bystanders and fewer participants.

Lack of investment in shared resources and future generations creates a lack of resilience in essential sectors and unsustainable consumption of natural resources.

Designing an inclusive economy requires giving voice to individuals and places that have been insufficiently included up to now. It requires holding human decency at its core and investing in common goods and future generations.

As countries and industries rebuild, leaders around the world have an opportunity to reimagine how our economy operates.

Built for All draws from decades of past efforts, which recognize that the mounting imbalances in economic growth have ultimately resulted in an inequitable distribution of opportunity, income, and wealth. Our extensive literature review uncovered complementary perspectives from global development, business strategy, economics, and community engagement.

2020

"A company serves society at large through its activities, supports the communities in which it works, and pays its fair share of taxes. It acts as a steward of the environmental and material universe for future generations. It consciously protects our biosphere and champions a regenerative economy. It continuously expands the frontiers of knowledge to improve people’s well-being."

Davos Manifesto 2020

World Economic Forum

2020

"A stronger, more resilient, and more equitable global economy is the only path toward a better economic future - one in which countries and communities can cooperate to address challenges that no country alone can solve."

"There is, perhaps for the first time in history, a reasonable chance of transforming the quality of life and creative opportunities for the vast majority of humanity."

"Inclusive growth ensures the benefits of a growing economy extend to all segments of society. Unleashing people’s economic potential starts with connecting them to the vital networks that power the modern economy."

Outlook for Shared Prosperity

Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth

2016

"An inclusive economy is one in which there is expanded opportunity for more broadly shared prosperity especially for those facing the greatest barriers to advancing their well-being."

Getting Beyond the Equity-Growth Dichotomy

The Rockefeller Foundation

2017

"Our current model assumes a ‘grow now, redistribute later’ approach to tackling inequalities. This has created a divided society, with many people feeling left behind from our economy."

Making our Economy Work for Everyone

Inclusive Growth Commission

2018

"As a society, we care about the distribution of well-being. People may prefer growth whose benefits are widely shared to those where benefits are limited to a few. There are thus multiple reasons why GDP is not a good measure of societal welfare."

Beyond GDP

Measuring What Counts for Economic and Social Performance, OECD

"While each of our individual companies serves its own corporate purpose, we share a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders. We commit to: [...] investing in our employees [...] dealing fairly and ethically with our suppliers [...] supporting the communities in which we work'."

2019

"Inequality is not a new phenomenon, but it has become one of the burning social and economic issues of our age—one that is contested in academic literature and street demonstrations alike."

Redefining prosperity

Part Two

A collective framework

Built for All was designed as an actionable framework for an inclusive global economy, which we define as a system that is intentionally designed to prioritize the flourishing of all people and the planet.

We envisage businesses, government, and civic sectors coming together and exploring a common set of actions that could help global economies support a future of sustained prosperity, equal participation, and responsible stewardship.


Success in today’s economy cannot be assessed using the mindset and measures of yesterday. In this framework, we take a broader view based on a proposition that economic growth, as historically measured, provides a necessary but insufficient measurement of improvement in human outcomes.

Part Four

Building an economy for all

As we have seen throughout history, inclusion is not a given in any economy. Prioritizing inclusion requires intentionally structured markets and mission-driven decision making. To these ends, a society’s investments and economic policies can either be equitable, sustainable, and unifying, or they can be unfair, exploitative, and exclusionary. The latter can lead the economy to become unstable, unsustainable, and lead to social unrest.

We can, and must, build economies where everyone flourishes, pursues their personal destiny, and is fairly rewarded. Where human creativity, enterprise, and ingenuity create a better world for all.

Let us leverage this moment, dare to imagine new possibilities, and commit to bringing them to life.

Help build inclusive economies

We are eager to collaborate with public, private, and civic institutions to cultivate economies that support human flourishing.
