This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multidimensional assessment of human development is increasingly recognized as playing an important role in assessing well-being. The focus of analysis is on the indicators measuring the three dimensions of Human Development Index (HDI) — standard of living, education and health, and their relationship with public social spending for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The study estimates the effects of public social spending on gross national income (GNI) per capita (in PPP in $), expected years of schooling and life expectancy for a sample of 68 countries. The relationship is robust to controlling for a variety of factors and the estimated magnitudes suggest a positive long-run effect of public educational spending on GNI per capita, public educational spending on expected years of schooling, and public health expenditures on life expectancy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Economics - Other, Aligarh Muslim University, course: Economics, language: English, abstract: Human development, which is about expanding people's choices, builds on shared natural resources. Promoting human development requires addressing sustainability- locally, nationally and globally- and this can and should be done in ways that are equitable and empowering. On the need for financing the human development, we observe that even the best macroeconomic policies may fail unless they are complemented by effective policies -policies that link the macro and the micro level and that bear directly on people live. Chief among these are the level and structure of government social expenditures and the design of the policy measures and programmes they support. The present paper tries to make a study on the financing of human development in India. The entire paper is divided into four parts. The first part is introductory which gives a brief account of the basic concept of human development and the various measures through which financing of human development could be observed. The second part of the paper talks about the trends in HDI in India vis-à-vis some of developed and developing countries. The third segment discusses about the trends in India's social sector expenditure as it affects the major dimensions of inclusive development like poverty alleviation, employment generation, health, education, and social welfare. The last section of the paper is given to concluding observations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the impact of good governance upon social sectors’ development in India and other selected economies of the world. Economic development in the true sense depends on the development of different social sectors like education, healthcare, gender equality, etc., as well as economic factors. Good governance makes the sectors perform well on the one hand, and helps in economic growth and development on the other. Conversely, bad or weak governance in the form of corruption and low effectiveness of the governments, may lead to poor performance of the sectors, and low growth and backwardness of the economies. This book explores the associations between different social sectors’ performances with quality of governance, and growth and development of different economies and groups in detail and establishes theoretical and empirical examinations for the individual economies and groups from the different corners of the globe with the help of new theories and latest data. This book will be useful for students and researchers in the fields of Economics, Sociology, Political Studies, Public Finance, International Relations, Social Sciences as well as policy makers and think tanks.

Book excerpt: The potential role of social protection in the development process has received heightened recognition in recent years, yet making a strong investment case for social protection remains particularly challenging in many emerging and developing countries. This report challenges us to think deeply about the economic rationale for social protection investments through an inclusive development lens. It helps us understand the links between social protection, growth and inequality; how to measure those links empirically; social protection’s impact on inclusive growth; and how to build a more solid economic case for greater social protection investments.

This book was released on 1989-05-15 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the empirical evidence on the contribution that government and, in particular, capital expenditure make to the growth performance of a sample of developing countries. Using the Denison growth accounting approach, this study finds that social expenditures may have a significant impact on growth in the short run, but infrastructure expenditures may have little influence. While current expenditures for directly productive purposes may exert a positive influence, capital expenditure in these sectors appears to exert a negative influence. Experiments with other explanatory variables confirm the importance of the growth of exports to the overall growth rate.
