Amongst the many related categories of development, ‘human development’ ‘political development’, ‘economic development’, ‘social development’ or ‘cultural development’, human development is the most important to all of us.      Human development focuses on improving the lives people lead rather than assuming that economic growth will lead, automatically, to greater wellbeing for all. Income growth is seen as a means to development, rather than an end in itself.
