This book studies the dynamic aspects of the Human Development
Index (HDI) through a partial mobility perspective. It offers a new
axiomatic structure and a set of mobility indices to discuss
partial trends and interrogate the human development status at the
subgroup and subregional levels. While traditional human
development theories are primarily concerned with static
distributions corresponding to a point in time, this book looks at
an oft-neglected side of HDI and focuses on relative changes in
human development that may not be captured by the absolutist
framework. In addition, the authors also introduce the concepts of
jump and fractional mobility which aid in tracking the development
and stagnation among various groups within a population. This work
breaks fresh ground in the study of human development. It will be
of great interest to scholars and researchers of economics,
development economics, political economy, and development
practitioners.
