<a href="http://hdr.undp.org/en/reports/global/hdr1990/" target="_blank"><font color="navy"><span style="color:navy">1990</span></font></a> opened with the
simply stated premise that has guided all subsequent Reports: <br>
<i><span style="font-style:italic">“People are the real wealth of a
nation.”<br>
</span></i> By backing up this assertion with an abundance of empirical
data and a new way of thinking about and measuring development, the <em><i><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family:Arial">Human Development Report </span></font></i></em>has
had a profound impact on development policies around the world. …”</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">This year’s Report
celebrates the contributions of the human development approach, which is as
relevant as ever to making sense of our changing world and finding ways to
improve people’s well-being. Indeed, human development is an evolving
idea—not a fixed, static set of precepts—and as the world changes,
analytical tools and concepts evolve. So this Report is also about how the human
development approach can adjust to meet the challenges of the new millennium….”</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">“………Addressing
these issues requires new tools. In this Report we introduce three measures to the
HDR family of indices—the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index,
the Gender Inequality Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index </span></font><font size="1" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">(for definitions of basic terms used in the Report, see box
1).</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">These state-of-the-art
measures incorporate recent advances in theory and measurement and support the
centrality of inequality and poverty in the human development framework. We
introduce these experimental series with the intention of stimulating reasoned public
debate beyond the traditional focus on aggregates.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Today’s challenges
also require a new policy outlook. While there are no silver bullets or magic
potions for human development, some policy implications are clear. First, we
cannot assume that future development will mimic past advances: opportunities
today and in the future are greater in many respects. <br>
Second, varied experiences and specific contexts preclude overarching policy
prescriptions and point towards more general principles and guidelines. <br>
Third, major new challenges must be addressed—most prominently, climate change.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Many challenges lie
ahead. Some are related to policy: development policies must be based on the
local context and sound overarching principles; numerous problems go beyond the
capacity of individual states and require democratically accountable global
institutions.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">There are also
implications for research: deeper analysis of the surprisingly weak
relationship between economic growth and improvements in health and education
and careful consideration of how the multidimensionality of development objectives
affects development thinking are just two examples…”<br>
