  • 301.3
Summary: Preparation of Human Development Reports has brought about a significant shift in the notion of human development insofar as the emphasis is now placed on “outcomes of development”, not only in terms of expansion of income, but also achievement (or translation of increased income) in terms of the quality of people’s well-being. This perspective recognizes that though higher per capita income is a pre - requisite for human development, a rise in income alone may not necessarily guarantee what people need most for their development. Therefore, the focus is centered on generation of more income, but simultaneously, on improvement in the quality of people’s lives.
