About Human Development
The first Human Development Report in 1990 opened with the simply stated
premise that has guided all subsequent Reports: “People are the real
wealth of a nation.” By backing up this assertion with an abundance of
empirical data and a new way of thinking about and measuring
development, the Human Development Report has had a profound impact on
policies around the world.

"The basic purpose of development is to enlarge people's choices. In
principle, these choices can be infinite and can change over time.
People often value achievements that do not show up at all, or not
immediately, in income or growth figures: greater access to knowledge,
better nutrition and health services, more secure livelihoods, security
against crime and physical violence, satisfying leisure hours, political
and cultural freedoms and sense of participation in community
activities. The objective of development is to create an enabling
environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives."
Mahbub ul Haq (1934-1998)
Founder of the Human Development Report
