People First: The Human Development Reports
Video

This video tells the story of the Human Development Report, its origin, its concepts and the reasons for its emergence in 1990. It discusses the Human Development Index (HDI) and key approaches to the measurement of development that go well beyond national incomes and the sheer size of national economies. Mixing interview footage and images from the field, this video is a great introduction to the concept of Human Development.
