Abstract

This study aims to answer the question that urban population has a detrimental impact on inclusive growth? (GINI coefficient is used as a proxy to measure inequality). For this purpose, Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) is used to observe the cointegration among all variables of the model. The vector error correction technique has used for short run dynamics. The empirical result confirms the presence of cointegration among the urban population and GINI coefficient of the model. These results reveal that urban population has a deep-rooted impact on the inclusive growth of the economy. Hence, if Pakistan desired to achieve inclusive growth for the economy, then Pakistan has to make urban population strong and productive.
