In a world where many experience unprecedented levels of wellbeing,
chronic poverty remains a major concern for many developing
countries and the international community. Conventional frameworks
for understanding development and poverty have focused on money,
commodities and economic growth. This 2007 book challenges these
conventional approaches and contributes to a new paradigm for
development centred on human wellbeing. Poor people are not defined
solely by their poverty and a wellbeing approach provides a better
means of understanding how people become and stay poor. It examines
three perspectives: ideas of human functioning, capabilities and
needs; the analysis of livelihoods and resource use; and research
on subjective wellbeing and happiness. A range of international
experts from psychology, economics, anthropology, sociology,
political science and development evaluate the state-of-the-art in
understanding wellbeing from these perspectives. This book
establishes a new strategy and methodology for researching
wellbeing that can influence policy.
