Human Development Report 1992 Global Dimensions of Human Development The richest 20% of the population now receives 150 times the income of the poorest 20%.

Human Development Report 1990 Concept and Measurement of human development The Report addresses, as its main issue , the question of how economic growth translates - or fails to translate - into human development.

However, its overall orientation is practical and pragmatic. Global Reports - 1990 |
