Abstract: More and more public organizations implement participatory approaches such as co-creation to strengthen their relationship with the population and design public policies that meet citizens' needs. However, some groups remain systematically absent from these processes. First, this article proposes four analytical dimensions to characterize the co-creation of public policies and compare its scope from one initiative to another. It then examines the concept of non-participation and analyzes its underlying causes. Finally, five approaches identified in the literature are presented as potentially enhancing the inclusiveness of co-creation initiatives: outreach, incentives, digital tools, the mobilization of ambassadors, and skills development. Addressed to both researchers and practitioners, the article thus provides concrete avenues for engaging typically "invisible" publics and rethinking the inclusivity of co-creation.
