The Measurement of Multidimensional Development: Comments on Commonly Accepted Indicators
Abstract
Argues that, notwithstanding the wide acceptance of the multidimensional character of the development process, one has to consider the many theoretical problems that this recognition has generated. Determining criteria and measurements for development are very likely among the more intricate issues to be dealt with. Given the underlying value judgements which influence the choice of criteria, this is particularly true for the social dimension of development, especially when the approach to development is persistently pervaded by economics.
