29. What is development? In a broader sense the notion of human development incorporates all aspects of individuals’ well-being, from their health status to their economic and political freedom. Definitions of development can be complex and often have a cultural basis. Development involves education, health, democracy, human rights, income, well-being and sustainability. Poverty is a key factor in development and measurements of poverty may vary from country to country and region to region.

30. One definition that is often quoted is that it represents an ‘ideal state to be achieved by human effort’. This implies that development should be concerned with enhancing human rights and welfare and not just with improving people’s income or wealth.
