Abstract

Economic growth, the traditional objective of development policy, is concerned with increasing the output of goods and services, in the expectation that this will increase human well being and reduce poverty. More recently, there has been a shift in favour of human development, where emphasis is placed on increasing an individual’s capabilities, widening choice and expanding freedom.1 There is much discussion, even controversy, about the relationship between economic growth and human development:2 are they in opposition? do they have different policy implications? or do they come down to much the same thing in the end?
