    • New economic view: multidimensional process involving changes in social structures, popular attitudes, and national institutions, with a focus on reducing poverty, inequality, and unemployment
    • Capability approach view: development should be evaluated based on the extent of freedom people have to promote and achieve their valued functions and capabilities### Development and Freedom
    • Worthiness and esteem are conferred on countries that possess economic wealth and technological power.
    • Human freedom involves an expanded range of choices for societies and their members, with minimization of external constraints.

    Objectives of Development

    • Development is both a physical reality and a state of mind where society has secured the means for obtaining a better life.
    • Three objectives of development:
      • Increase availability and widen distribution of basic life-sustaining goods (e.g., food, shelter, health, protection).
      • Raise levels of living (e.g., higher incomes, more jobs, better education, greater attention to cultural and human values).
      • Expand the range of economic and social choices available to individuals and nations.

    Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

    • MDGs are eight goals agreed upon by UN member states to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, and discrimination against women by 2015.
    • SDGs replace MDGs, aiming to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.
    • SDGs address global challenges including poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.

    Measures of Development

    • Development can be measured using different metrics, including:
      • Per capita income (e.g., World Bank's classification of countries by economic status).
      • Degree of international indebtedness (e.g., World Bank's classification of countries by debt levels).
      • Level of human development (e.g., UNDP's Human Development Index (HDI)).

    Human Development Index (HDI)

    • HDI is a composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development:
      • A long and healthy life.
      • Knowledge.
      • A decent standard of living.
    • HDI ranks each country on a scale of 0 to 1 based on these three goals.
