Q.III Case study based question
Once it is realised that even though the level of income is important, yet it is an inadequate
measure of the level of development, we begin to think of other criterion. There could be a
long list of such criterion but then it would not be so useful. What we need is a small number
of the most important things. Health and education indicators, such as the ones we used in
comparison of Kerala and Punjab are among them. Over the past decade or so, health and
education indicators have come to be widely used along with income as a measure of
development. For instance, Human Development Report published by UNDP compares
countries base on the educational levels of the people, their health status and per capita
income. I would be interesting to look at certain relevant data regarding India and its
neighbours from Human Development Report 2006.
1. On what basis the UNDP compares countries on Human Development?
2. explain human development briefly.
3. Mention other aspects that should be considered for development.
