Unprecedented growth has been experienced in most part of the globe during last few decades. Unfortunately, the fruit of such growth has not improved the life for all. While the poverty has been reduced in some of the emerging economies like India, China and Vietnam, half of the world’s population owns less than 1% of the wealth. More than half of total workforce of 2.6 billion in the developing economies is employed in the “informal sector” with usnfavourable working conditions. Unemployment, especially of youths, is in the range of 40 to 70%. With close to 1 billion people suffering from malnourishment, 2.7 billion people living without proper sanitation and clean water, around 125 million children not going to school and around 30 million children dying of preventable diseases in last 10 years before reaching the age of five; do clearly indicate that a large part of the population have been deprived of the opportunities in sharing the fruits of the growth.
