G-20 Heads of States and Nations are scheduled to attend the meeting along with over a thousand corporate CEOs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the WEF, the index is measured taking into account the \u201cliving standards, environmental sustainability and protection of future generations from further indebtedness\u201d. Stating that the reliance on GDP to measure economic achievement is triggering short-termism and inequality, the WEF had urged world leaders to shift to a new model of inclusive growth and development.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 index measures the progress of 103 economies, which are divided into two parts \u2013 29 advanced economies and 74 emerging economies. The measures are made on the basis of three individual pillars \u2013 growth and development; inclusion; and inter-generational equity. Lithuania once again topped the list as the fastest emerging economies; on the other hand Norway stays as the most inclusive advanced economy in the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">How does your country rank for inclusive development?
