The Costa Rican Human Development Story

Séverine Deneulin

Chapter 6 in The Capability Approach and the Praxis of Development, 2006, pp 140-174 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I had just arrived in Costa Rica when my host family invited me to visit their 75-year-old aunt in a small farm in the rural area surrounding San José. She had a small three-room house, with simple furniture, a small kitchen at the back with a wooden stove, and chickens running around. The old aunt had a brain tumour and was undergoing surgery the next day, for free, in one of the public hospitals of the capital city. The whole family was gathered around her to offer support before the surgery.
