Reflections on Human Development

Reflections on Human Development explores a new development paradigm whose central focus is human well-being. It discusses development policies and strategies that link economic growth with human lives in various societies. Analysing the evolution of a new human development index as a far more comprehensive measure of gross national product, the book offers a new vision of human security for the 21st century. This new edition, completed just before Dr. Haq’s death, includes an epilogue on the human development profile of nations, especially those in South Asia in the late 1990s and indicators for the turn of the century.
