This annotated bibliography covers 80 studies that include some evidence of inclusive outcomes. The studies range across sectors, such as the political sphere, health, and education; across groups, such as people with disabilities, women and ethnic minorities; and across indicators, such as increased growth, school enrolment, and policy changes.
Several types of intervention stand out as being effective for social inclusion: inclusive education for children with disabilities; community-driven development; including women (and others) in political processes; and social protection.
In general, the literature is missing the conceptual link between interventions which improve short-order outcomes such as educational achievement or political participation, and how these outcomes might contribute to an inclusive society.
