Successful Transition towards a Virtuous Cycle of Human Development and Economic Growth: Country Studies

Gustav Ranis and Frances Stewart

No 28396, Center Discussion Papers from Yale University, Economic Growth Center

Abstract: This paper explores the two-way links between Economic Growth and Human Development by examining the performance of some countries which have been successful in both dimensions and a few which have not. The specific aim is to examine the historical experience of six countries in order to determine how a system can move to a situation in which improvements in Human Development accompany and support higher rates of growth which, in turn, contribute to further improvements in Human Development as the basic societal objective.
