Impaired Intestinal Function Among Indigenous Shuar Children of Amazonian Ecuador
Intestinal function appears to be considerably impaired among school-age Shuar children living in a low-resource, rural setting. Children living in unsanitary, non-industrialized contexts may routinely experience intestinal permeability-related immune activation and malabsorption-related energy/nutrient loss. More research is needed to explore the breadth of global variation in children's intestinal function and to investigate its many evolutiona…
Who Wants To Share? Attitudes Towards Horizontal Redistribution Across the Globe
While recent literature has extensively addressed inequalities between households or individuals, known as “vertical inequalities,” there remains a dearth of research on socio‐economic disparities among culturally defined groups, termed “horizontal inequalities” (HIs). In diverse societies, addressing such group disparities is imperative to promote economic efficiency, political stability, and social cohesion. This thematic issue investigates the…
Should Happiness or Human Development be the Main Development Objective?
This chapter analyses the new emphasis on happiness as the overriding objective of development. The view emerged in response to defects in income as a measure of progress, similar to the origin of the human development approach. After discussing the long historic origins and rationale of the view that societal happiness should be the sole measure of progress, it contrasts the happiness objective with human development, capabilities, and human rig…
Human Development
Human development is often identified with the Human Development Index (HDI), and this is how the empirical work in previous chapters has proceeded. But this is a very reductionist approach to human development. This chapter identifies eleven dimensions that form part of human development, beyond the three incorporated in the HDI, by drawing on the work of philosophers and others. It then explores empirically how far the HDI represents these othe…
Capabilities and Human Development
This chapter analyses the role of social institutions in advancing human development and capabilities. Social interactions are a quintessential part of human life, and their quantity and quality determine a person’s social or relational capabilities, which are an important dimension of human development. In addition, institutions and social capabilities are shown to play a critical role in advancing capabilities generally and shaping individual c…
Advancing Human Development
The book provides a comprehensive account of the human development (HD) approach to development. It shows how it emerged as a consequence of defects in earlier strategies, especially growth maximization. The book investigates the determinants of success and failure in HD across developing countries over the past forty years. Cross-country investigations show broad determinants of success and failure, while country studies give detailed examples o…
Changing Approaches to Development since 1950
The article reviews changes toward development in thought and policy over seven decades, drawing on Karl Polanyi’s analysis to explain the major changes that occurred. It argues that changes in thought and policies are the outcome of a Polanyiesque pendulum from state to market and back in response to problems arising from each approach, especially when taken as an extreme. While the pendulum was initiated in developed countries in response to th…

Conceptualising and Measuring Social Cohesion in Africa
The Sustainable Development Goals
The agreement on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a tremendous achievement. The goals represent an advance on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), by aiming to eliminate poverty, by including an equality goal and by bringing sustainability into the agenda. Nonetheless, three outstanding issues remain. First, national ownership is likely to be a problem. The centrally agreed goals need to be interpreted nationally to allow for national …
Employment, Income Distribution and Development
First Published in 1975. These essays cover diverse topics on questions of employment, unemployment and income distribution in the Third World. The justification for collecting them into a single volume arises from the recent identification of the problem of employment in developing countries with that of income distribution

Horizontal Inequalities as a Cause of Conflict
Shows that violent conflict is not an unavoidable ramification of ethnic difference, an outcome of 'age-old ethnic hatreds' as is popularly suggested, nor of an unavoidable 'clash of civilizations.' Most multi-ethnic societies are peaceful, so why then does ethnic or religious conflict break out in some states and not in others? According to CRISE (the Centre for Research on Inequality, Human Security and Ethnicity), the presence of major horizon…

Religion Versus Ethnicity as a Source of Mobilisation
Horizontal Inequalities and Conflict
Violent conflict within multiethnic and multireligious countries is a major problem in the world today — from the former Yugoslavia and USSR to Northern Ireland and the Basque country, from Rwanda to Darfur, Indonesia to Fiji, numerous bitter and deadly conflicts are fought along ethnic or religious lines. In addition to the direct injuries and loss of life both on and off the battlefield that result, violent organized conflict is also a major ca…

Human Development
The well‐known Human Development Index (HDI) encompasses only three rather basic aspects of human welfare. This paper aims to go beyond this, by identifying 11 categories of human development. We next propose plausible candidates as indicators of these categories. We then estimate correlations among the indicators within each category, discarding those that are highly correlated with others. This left 39 indicators to encompass the categories. Of…
Wider Perspectives on Global Development
Horizontal Inequalities
Current thinking about development places individuals firmly at the centre of concern for analysis and policy. This paper explores why groups are important for individual welfare and social stability, and argues that horizontal inequalities (i.e. inequalities between culturally formed groups) is a very important but neglected dimension of development. Most attention is focussed on inequality between individuals. The paper recognises that groups a…

Rural nonagricultural activities in development
This paper focusses on the potentially important role of rural nonagricultural activity in the development process. Using the Hymer-Resnick Z-goods model as a point of departure, we first show that its pessimistic conclusions are based on rather restrictive assumptions as applied to the colonial period. We relax these assumptions, indicating the theoretical possibility of a substantially more positive scenario for that period. Subsequently, we an…
Basic Needs in Developing Countries
The economic value of contraception
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of the study was to determine the clinical and economic impact of alternative contraceptive methods. METHODS. Direct medical costs (method use, side effects, and unintended pregnancies) associated with 15 contraceptive methods were modeled from the perspectives of a private payer and a publicly funded program. Cost data were drawn from a national claims database and MediCal. The main outcome measures included 1-year and 5-…
Basic Needs Strategies, Human Rights, and the Right to Development
The failure of the economic and social system to achieve a basic minimum condition of life for hundreds of millions of people in the third world has led to widespread recognition of the need to give primacy to securing universal access to basic social and economic goods and services. This recognition has been shared by economists, philosophers, and advocates of international human rights, but each have proceeded separately to develop conceptual f…

Development and security
This paper reviews the connections between development and security both within developing countries and globally. It interprets security as human security, and within this category focuses on political violence as an important source of insecurity. Three connections are hypothesised: that human security forms an important part of people’s wellbeing and is therefore an objective of development; that lack of human security has adverse consequences…
Preventing unintended pregnancy
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the cost-effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills, minipills, and the copper-T intrauterine device (IUD) as emergency contraception. METHODS: Cost savings were modeled for both (1) a single contraceptive treatment following unprotected intercourse and (2) emergency contraceptive pills provided in advance. RESULTS: In a managed care (public payer) setting, a single treatment of emergency contraception after un…

Decentralisation in Indonesia
This paper attempts to assess the extent of decentralisation efforts and their impact on various dimensions of the development process. We find relatively little "real" decentralisation (devolution): local governments have little tax autonomy and central priorities tightly constrain most funding from the centre. Indeed, increased revenue flows serve as a disincentive to modest local tax efforts, reduce the relative importance of locally controlle…

Choice of technique in developing countries
This paper summarizes briefly some of the discussion on the question of choice of techniques in developing countries and suggests some alternative lines of approach that might be helpful. The neo‐classical approach which assumes a wide range of choice of technique is rejected as being unhistorical in its view of technological development; the technological determinist1 view which concludes that there is virtually no choice of technique at all ign…

The employment effects of wage changes in poor countries
It is commonly argued that a rise in ‘modern1 sector wage rates in poor countries will reduce employment as a result of factor substitution. However, it is shown that this need not apply, even assuming the existence of high elasticities of substitution, if there are segregated labour markets, as is common in poor countries. When all labour markets are considered, a rise in ‘modern’ sector wage rates may increase total employment opportunities thr…
