"human Development" Dimension And Its Evaluation

The conception of Human Development reflects the requirement of the modern development realities and the people's deepened understanding of the development. Beginning with the evolution of the views of development, the thesis reveals the history premise of Human Development, discusses respectively about the ultimate aim, the primary aspects of the human beings, the unique angle of view and the approach, and gives some advices on how to use the approach for reference to value our country's development.Human Development is defined as "a process of enlarging people's choices. " The thesis holds that it relates capability, the process and means, to freedom, the end. It focuses on the achievements of all the aspects of human life and the improvements of human rights.At all levels of development, the three essential ones are for people to lead a long and healthy life, to acquire knowledge and to have access to resources needed for a decent standard of living. But Human Development does not end there. Additional choices highly valued by many people are also concerned. Human Development holds that economic growth is means, and that enhancing people's capabilities and enlarging people's options are end. Human Development explores the relationship between economic growth and human development, transforming the former to the latter.All the people should benefit from development and enjoy equitable access to opportunities. The emergency of the Human Development strategies is to fight against poverty, provide equal opportunities and try to make all the people develop fully and roundly.Human Development views cultural diversity as freedom. It argues that cultural diversity is the premise of cultural liberty, and that the cultural diversity is valued according to cultural liberty. Cultural liberty is the important content of human rights. Human Development can promote the cultural rights. As to development, cultural liberty means that development is not homogeneous.The thesis concludes that the primary principles include people-centered, focusing on the primary aspects of human life, qualitative as well as quantitative analysis and openness. HumanDevelopment Index (HDI) has its advantages. But some comprehensive disputation arises. In fact, Human Development measurement is a much broader system. The limitation of the HDI should be surmounted and the rich meaning of Human Development theory and strategy should be concerned.The three most important key concepts, choice, freedom and capability , which relate closely, are the base of the approach. "End-means" and "evaluation-agency" are the most unique analyses.Finally, the thesis gives the advice that Human Development theory and approach should be used for reference to measure our country's development. The thesis suggests that, in the measurement, the primary aspects of the human life, as well as the emergent and fundamental problems be closely concerned, and that it be combined with the leading development theory and the main development realities in our country at present.
