'Readers will find in these pages a very lucid, creative, and highly readable version of many of the ideas that have taken shape through the medium of the Human Development Reports during the last four years.

Basic Needs
Author: Paul Streeten
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Basic needs
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The paper raises some of the unsettled and controversial questions in the basic needs debate. Among them are: Who determines what needs are basic? What substance can be given to the slogan "participation" which, together with adequate income and well designed public services contains the essence of basic needs? What are the politics of basic needs? Is it a revolutionary or a conservative approach? What is the relation between meeting basic needs as an end in itself and as a means to raise labor productivity? Why are humanitarians and human capital school adherents at loggerheads? How should international support for a basic needs strategy be mobilized? And what is the empirical relation between poverty eradication and reducing income inequalities?

The Political Economy of Basic Human Needs
Author: Bruce Edward Moon
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This volume reflects a new emphasis in development economics on conditions that promote the realization of human potential. Moon defines development goals as attainment of basic needs and the reduction of absolute poverty. He evaluates the effects of the state and political system, as well as the role of the military in relation to these goals, and makes a careful distinction between absolute poverty of basic-needs deprivation and the relative poverty associated with income inequality. Asserting that "the normative case for concern with the poor is unassailable, universal, and compelling," the author insists that "the provision of basic needs may be necessary for rapid growth." The volume includes a discussion of methodological premises in an appendix. ISBN 0-8014-2448-8: $45.00.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Does science and technology (S & T) truly have a part to play in meeting basic human needs? Can S & T help the world's communities secure adequate nutrition, health care, water, sanitary facilities, and access to education and information? The role of science and technology in development is certainly one of the most complex and delicate issues facing policymakers and development practitioners today. In An Assault on Poverty, the Panel on Technology for Basic Needs of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development offers analyses of poverty eradication and the role of S & T.

Reflections on Human Development
Author: Mahbub ul Haq
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195356306
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This work explores a new development paradigm whose central focus is on human well-being. Increase in income is treated as an essential means, but not as the end of development, and certainly not as the sum of human life. Development policies and strategies are discussed which link economic growth with human lives in various societies. The book also analyzes the evolution of a new Human Development Index which is a far more comprehensive measure of socio-economic progress of nations than the traditional measure of Gross National Product. For the first time, a Political Freedom Index is also presented. The book offers a new vision of human security for the twenty-first century where real security is equated with security of people in their homes, their jobs, their communities, and their environment. The book discusses many concrete proposals in this context, including a global compact to overcome the worst aspects of global poverty within a decade, key reforms in the Bretton Woods institutions of World Bank and IMF, and establishment of a new Economic Security Council within the United Nations.
