Human Development: Definitions, Critiques, and Related Concepts

Sabina Alkire

No 36, OPHI Working Papers from Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford

Abstract: The purpose of this background paper is 1) to synthesize the discussions regarding the concept of human development, so as to inform the 2010 Report's definition, and 2) drawing on the extensive policy and academic literatures, to propose relationships between the concept of human development and four related concepts: the Millennium Development Goals, Human Rights, Human Security, and Happiness. Inequality, the duration of outcomes across time, and environmental sustainability are also prominent due to their fundamental importance.
