JICA Ogata Sadako Research Institute for Peace and Development (JICA Ogata Research Institute) published a book titled, “Introduction to Quality Growth: Concept, Theoretical Background, Policy and Measurement ,” in April 2026, as a result of the Institute’s research project Study on “Quality Growth” .

This open access book presents a new approach to growth amid international efforts toward sustainable development. Quality growth considers inclusiveness, resilience to external shocks (natural disasters, infectious diseases, financial crises etc.) and sustainability in terms of climate and environmental change as integral parts of growth,thereby maximizing people’s wellbeing.

The proposed measures for quality growth also add value to the international debates over indicators that extend “beyond GDP.”
