Inclusive Development

This paper examines the differential rates of social inclusion among first- and second-generation Haitians in the Dominican Republic to assess the impact of inclusive development on emerging economies in the Global South. Haitians are one of the most marginalized and discriminated-against ethnic nationalities in the Dominican Republic, and an examination of the conditions of this group further explores the connection between inclusion and incorporation among ethnic nationals. The paper contributes to the literature on inclusive development by using a comparative approach to find evidence on intergenerational mobility and segmented assimilation within and across immigrant communities.
