Summary/Abstract: The Asian countries over the last decades experienced an unusually dynamic economic growth. However, they still face different social problems, despite the continuous improvement of poverty and social exclusion rates. Therefore, the undertaken measures within the economic and social policies must promote inclusive growth in those countries. The innovations can contribute to solving or mitigating the different social problems. However, the complex set of factors, including cultural factors, level of social identity and participation of inhabitants in social life, determine the way of promoting social innovations and instruments which are used in order to implement them. The aim of the paper is to discuss the role of social innovations in promoting inclusive growth in selected Asian countries and to indicate the factors influencing the scope and characteristics of social innovation which is implemented in the discussed countries.
