Abstract: Human resource development (HRD), has at present emerged as an enduring field of study, seeking answers to strategic questions that economics could not satisfactorily provide. If economics is concerned primarily with economic equilibrium and related problems, it does not have much to offer in detennining the realistic strategy on the effective utilization of human resources. However, broad concepts of manpower utilization, and specific arguments, for instance on the choice of technology and labor-intensive technology has been advanced by economists. The notion of optimum manpower utilization for the sake of faster growth and better social progress is not new in economic thinking. However, to achieve full utilization is far from simple. It requires that the development process shall be guided by social interests, it requires adequate socioeconomic change and political forces to carry it through, and it also requires certain important economic and managerial measures.
