The objective economic development has remarkably changed in recent years.Today development not only implies the growth of output or of income,but also the improvement in the quality of output or income,But also the improvement in the quality of people's lives.The improvement in the quality of people's lives not only requires higher income but also requires higher standard of education,health and nutrition,a cleaner environment,and equal opportunity."This clearly implies that economics development is more than more increase in GDP.
In line with this idea World Bank ha been publishing social indicators of development since 1990.This focuses on infant mortality,primary schools enrolment rate,supply per capital,and share of agriculture in GDP beside per capital income.
Similar to this very idea UN DP(United Nation Development Programme.)has been published human resources development report each year since 1990.In the first publication of this report in 1990,UN DP defined human development in this way."people are the real wealth of a nation. The basic objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long healthy and creative lives.....Human development is a process of enlarging people's choices."The concept of human development reinforces the belief that people should participate in the development process and benefit from it.Hence,effort should be focused on improving quality of life.There is no meaning of growth if it not translated into the lives of people.
