The first Human Development Reportin 1990opened with the simply stated premise that has guidedall subsequent Reports:"People are the real wealth ofa nation." By backing up this assertion with an abundance of empiricai data and a new way ofthinking about and measuring development, the Human Development Report has had a profound impact on developmentpolicies around the world.This 20th anniversary edition features introductory reflections by the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, whoworked with series founderMahbub ul Haq on the conceptionof the first Humon Deve/opmenrfieporrandcontributed toand inspired many successive volumes.The 2010 Report continues the tradition of pushing the fiontiers of development thinking. For the first time since 1990, theReport looks back rigorously at the pastseverardecades and identifies often surprising trends and patterns with importantlessons for the future. These varied pathways to human development show that there is no single formula for sustainableprogress—and that impressive long-term gains can and have been achieved even withoutconsistent economic growth.In keeping with the innovative spirit of its founders, the Report this year introduces an updated version of its signatureHuman Development Index (HDi) and presents pioneering new indices:• The Inequality-adjusted HDI, whieh reduces national HDI values by the degree of inequalities in health and educationstandards and the distribution of income.• The Gender Inequality Index, which factors in women's participation in government and the workforce, as well as healthand education status, to reflect disparities between men and women within and aeross countries.• The Multidimensional Poverty Index, which identifies overlapping deprivations at the household level—includinghealth, schooling and llving conditions—and calculates that fully a third of the people in the 104 countries studied Jivein éxtreme multidimensional poverty.Looking beyond 2010, this Report surveys critical aspects of human development outside the scope of these indices, frompolitkal fréedoms and empowermentto sustainability and human security and outlines abroader agenda for research andpolicies to respond to these challenges.As Amartya Sen writes: "Twenty years after the appearance of the first Human Development Report, there is much tocelebrate in what has been achieved. But we also have to bealive to ways of improving the assessment of old adversitiesandofrecognizing—and respondingto—new threats that endanger human well-being and freedom."The 20th anniversary edition is a response to that human development imperative.
