Human Development has been advocated as the prime development goal
since 1990, when the publication of the first UNDP Human
Development Report proposed that development should improve the
lives people lead in multiple dimensions instead of primarily
pursuing economic growth. This approach forms the foundation of
Advancing Human Development: Theory and Practice. It traces the
evolution of approaches to development, showing how the Human
Development approach emerged as a consequence of defects in earlier
strategies. Advancing Human Development argues that Human
Development is superior to measures of societal happiness. It
investigates the determinants of success and failure in Human
Development across countries over the past forty years, taking a
multidimensional approach to point to the importance of social
institutions and social capabilities as essential aspects of
change. It analyses political conditions underlying the performance
of Human Development, and surveys global progress in multiple
dimensions such as life expectancy, infant mortality, and education
and outcomes, whilst reflecting on dimensions which have worsened
over time, such as rising inequality and declining environmental
conditions. These deteriorating conditions inform Advancing Human
Development's account of the challenges to the Human Development
approach, covering the insufficient attention paid to macroeconomic
conditions and the economic structure needed for sustained success.
