Human development is the process of enlarging people’s freedoms and
opportunities and improving their well-being. It:
• Puts people at the center of analysis;
• Encompasses the economic, social, cultural, environmental, and
political processes that shape the range of options available to us;
• Is expanded or constrained by the things we do ourselves and by
conditions and institutions around us.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Debuted in 1990 at the UN; rooted in Amartya Sen's capabilities
framework.
Seen as the global gold standard for measuring well-being in human
development reports in over 150 countries.
