It is used to describe a unidimensional change. and they progress and prosper. normally a distinction is made between the two. may be. and there are economies that experience continuous decay. as in the case of size of a balloon. There are phases when they decline too. You may find that. When we do not refer to dimensional aspects we use the . We will leave them to historians. economic historians. temporary phenomenon. If one considers long stretches of human history. It is maintained along the following lines. one knows that economies (civilizations) disappeared altogether. we will not have occasions to use them. We shall not consider too distant a past either. two have survived. You might have noticed that the word 'growth' is used to describe increase in stature or size. Because we shall primarily look at nations and countries as economies. Let us take a normal view. and use terms such as 'economic growth' and 'economic development'. We shalloften try to distinguish 'economic' from 'noneconomic' though there are cases where it becomes difficult to do so. which have been used to describe changes as well as to prescribe changes. We shall. We will not take into account such long stretches of time. We shall then accept decline as an occasional. therefore. we use phrase 'negative growth' and to describe perverse tendencies. we may use words 'dedevelopment' or 'maldevelopment' though. Of the positive terms. words 'growth' and 'development' are used in interchangeable fashion. as in the case of stature of a child or a uniform expansion in all directions. they expand and advance. But. taking all activities together. we look at a twenty-year period and use yearly figures for flow of output of goods. be taken as a long-term tendency reflected by increase in flow of final goods and services produced by the economy. therefore. Some economists feel that it is growth of per capita GDPFC. the GDPFC for 1999-2000 and 2000-01 are Rs.00. they would accompany each other. Shall we use nineteen year-to-year figures of growth rate. and call its growth as economic growth. If there is a general tendency of growth but there are occurrences of decline.00. But. the point is that the prices should relate to only one common year so that we measure only the change in flow of output. Suppose you look into a recent issue of the National Accounts Statistics published by the Central Statistical Organisation and find that at 1993-94 prices. hotels and hospitals grow. Let us measure it at factor cost and write it in its abbreviated form GDPFC. The growth rates calculated on yearly basis would differ from year to year. This is a flow of goods and services produced during the year 2000-01. Monsoon may widely fail in certain years and economy may get derailed for a while. not a mix of change in output and change in prices. Suppose.10. In order to see that we measure the 'real' change in flow. The prices may belong to 2000-01 or 1999-2000 or to 1993-94. But the point to be noted is that economic growth is a long-term phenomenon about the change in total economic activity of an economy. how to summarise the nineteen figures? If we adopt the latter. some of which may be negative. while the potential of economy to produce is continuously increasing. In most cases. Some economists put too much emphasis on supply potential and ignore demand conditions. If so. 20 or 50 years then we often add words 'per annum' or 'per year' to growth rate. Internal demand may for a variety of reasons fail to make full use of the potential.000 crore respectively. In economies that depend to a large extent on external trade conditions in other countries may affect the realisation. The GDPFC in 2000-01 was around Rs 17. This is a positive change.000 crore and Rs. measured in value terms. The growth rate is often expressed in terms of per cent per annum.60.word 'growth'. that should be used to gauge the growth of an economy.000 crore. Economic Development . which is measured in terms of GDPFC at constant prices. Shall we then say that. we are often quick to point out certain features that are not captured by word 'growth'. to describe the change? Or. Such GDPs are said to be measured at constant prices. The growth in flow called GDPFC in absolute terms is Rs. good to make an analytical distinction between the two. Would it not be a good idea to speak of general tendency and ignore abnormal fluctuations around the general tendency of increase?Economic growth should. It is. we should compute the magnitude of flows in both the years in the same prices. The total quantum of goods and servicesproduced in an economy in a given year is referred to as Gross Domestic Product. In relative terms it is 6 per cent and it is called growth rate. They define economic growth as long-term increase in production potential of the economy.colleges and universities. should we just compare the initial figure with the final figure? If we adopt the former. Let us look at it from the view point of production. if ever. the rates of growth will be negative in certain years. we should know the measure of the flow last year. If we prepare a whole series for 10. the potential is sometimes not realised? There could be various reasons for occasional decline. therefore. people talk of growth without development or development without growth. not GDPFC. We may be interested in knowing whether the flow this year is larger than the flow last year. There may be cases when one is dominant and the other is dormant. that growth takes place without development or development takes place without growth. it is possible that one of these (initial or final) figures is just 'abnormal' as it does not fall in line. Even schools and institutes. there could be a negative change also. Economic Growth Let us take here a comprehensive view of the economy.10. In such cases. It is rare.000 crore.60. Some pointed out necessity of attitudinal changes in people – a leap from traditional value system to modern value system. Two. if employed or should get remunerative prices for what one produces. Institutional changes could mean emergence of new institutions in governance. not with decrease. from production of goods to production of services. Then. Looking from a distance. In this concept. the cause of such worry is said to be large and increasing population. the nature may not be able to assimilate it. And structural change was understood in terms of composition of GDP and industrial distribution of labour. present production technology makes use of non-renewable (exhaustible) natural resources such as fossil fuels (coal. There may not be enough trees around us to clean our atmosphere and we may have to suffer from various health problems. One. But. gas and petroleum) or even of renewable natural resources (such as forests. In short. therefore. if self-employed. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT In this context. especially if all the three. it would be strange to call the result 'development' even if per capita income doubled. which are brought to our notice. but makes no significant dent on basic problems of underdeveloped countries. The issue is whether the level of development. from agriculture to manufacturing. a variety of sweeping changes took place in Europe. Sustainable development may. something more than economic growth. from manufacturing to automatic production. smoke and other poisonous gases. They called it structural change. In developed countries. here is a reference to conscious attempts made to develop an economy by adopting a strategy. Mass poverty was one particular problem we attributed to the colonial rule and wanted to secure self-governance in order to eradicate it. more non-renewable natural resources get exhausted and our environment become further polluted. If non-renewable natural resources deplete fast. Clean air and clean water may not be available to us. If one or two of these central problems have been growing worse. there may come a point when it may become impossible to continue with the level of development reached. if pollution level is too high. Some other economists believe that development is distinctly different process than growth and covers other dimensions of change besides growth. However. For them. we find that production structure of the economy has changed: from hunting-gathering to settled agriculture. present production technology (along with disposal practices of waste) pollutes atmosphere and water bodies with garbage. we have a cause to worry about. This was a reflection of changing demand for goods and services on the one hand and changing demand for labour by production technology in different sectors on the other. economics takes most of its lues from the economic history of the West during the last two centuries or so. It means that if we continue growing our economies the way we do. we could defineeconomic development as economic growth accompanied by rise in productivity. it only means that its relative importance has changed and that this might have occurred with increase in all activities in a broad sense. In order to accommodate this thought. Most of the mainstream economists believed that all economies in the West traversed the same path and believed that other economies would also follow the same path. is sustainable. as also in capital market and money market. require the preservation of stocks of resources. Development is." Indeed. it is believed that reduction in inequality will reduce poverty and will lead to reduction in unemployment too. then beyond doubt this has been a period of development for the country concerned. They defined economic development as economic growth with structural change in favour of nonagricultural activities. Structural change meant relative increase in terms of proportion of non-agriculture/nonprimary output and concomitant changes in proportion of employment of labour in non-agricultural activities (and also in that of allocation of capital and land). what use are the efforts or the strategy? This implies that development has to be related to welfare of people. Sustainable Development In recent years an important issue has arisen. There were attempts to emphasize technological dimension of development. Many economists felt disillusioned and started showing their anguish. Early economists working in the field of development economics took notice of change in the composition of output and deployment of labour in activities. future generations may not have enough stock for its use. animals and water) to such an extent that their regeneration becomes difficult. transformation in structure of economy in terms of composition of output of goods and services or even in deployment of labour force. Keeping this in view. just not concerned with description of economic history. During this period. Nature has some assimilative capacity. including environmental resources and exhaustible natural . The more goods you produce. When they did not find it happening they pointed out that institutional changes are equally important. However. Developments in the fifties and sixties did not perceptibly change the scene in these crucial areas. One such Western economist who had been dealing with problems of development asserted in a World Conference in Delhi: "The questions to ask about a country's development are: What has been happening to poverty? What has been happening to unemployment? What has been happening to inequality? If all three of these have declined from high levels. largely in positive direction.Some economists hold a view that the economic development is not much different fromeconomic growth. If the strategy brings in growth in capacity to produce more and in actual output. there are two facts. One is entitled to one's wages when one is employed. some economists prefer to define economic development as economic growth with redistribution of resources in favour of the relatively worse off. It is to be pursued as a deliberate mechanism of deliverance of the masses from poverty and idleness in a relatively short period of time. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT Whole human history may be thought of as a succession of developments or changes. It was suggested much earlier that welfare of people depends on the size of the cake as well as its distribution. development is nothing but the level of per capita income achieved in a particular year. and technology making use of machines and power instead of men and cattle. litter. Still others hold that. the major cause of worry about sustainability of development is supposed to be a wasteful consumption style and in many developing countries. even in a developing country where it is fairly low. both are processes of long-term increase in per capita income. It does not mean services were not produced. this structural change has to take place along with increase in output of all (or majority of) goods. say thousand years ago. however. that is. economic development could be defined as economic growth plus. It was pointed out thateconomic growth should be accompanied by rise in productivity. which may broadly be categorized as technological and institutional. If that scourge still persists on a large scale. One should get adequate wages. emergence of institutions in terms of variety of banks. the suggestion is that the income should get redistributed in favour of relatively worseoff. and basic liberties.resources. The message is that the pattern of growth may have to be changed in certain economies and in others. However. With increasing concern for human rights. This argument is acceptable in the sense that life cannot be separated into economic and non-economic compartments. One can add availability of food. class or regional lines. Some do point out that there would then be no mining and no industry. education facilities. thequality of life also will not be good. Physical Quality of Life Index. The definition of sustainable developmentcan. Those who suggest the other line. food production and resource depletion were to continue unchanged. clothing. Indicators of Development Introduction You may recall that we have defined economic development as a process but also referred to it as a level. the level reached may have to be maintained rather than substantially enhanced. political rights and civil rights or some indicators reflecting these rights should be added to the quality of life. luxuriant cars and palatial houses. in this conception. Therefore. it is captured through per capita income. Many analysts do not segregate environment. When any process is conceived as multi-dimensional. it is always prudent to be cautious. clothing. some attempts have been made to measure the level. The idea of 'quality of life' enriches the concept of 'standard of living'. This report definessustainable development as that level which takes care of the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of the future generations. freedom of choice. After all. legal aid and security to the list of clean water. welfare. But the quality of life idea adds the dimensions. . Most of us would not prefer to be put in prison for any considerable period even if food. which may enhance productivity through efficiency. In fact. it would be a good idea to incorporate these indicators of well-being and welfare. Before constraints loom large. if the air is polluted or if we do not get safe drinking water. in this view. Concerned with environmental degradation. you may note that growth is a quantitative change between two levels of development or levels of development at two points of time. If our surroundings are littered. industrialization. expensive clothing. For comparison between two economies. often manifestation of high income. Some people also think that certain rights. If quality of air. the whole purpose of consciously developing a society is to raise the level of well-being and welfare of its people. health care. We can think about quality of life in terms of its constituents too. a world commission was set up in the recent past. We shall discuss four alternatives to measure the level ofdevelopment: Per Capita Income. point out that the items listed above are determinants of well-being. it is not a bad idea to apply restraint. it becomes difficult to adequately capture its character through any index. quality of water and quality of sanitation are not good. caste. there exists no such term. Quality of Life One shred of quality of life is already indicated in earlier section on sustainable development. which is generally thought of in terms of rich food. A study in 1972 had tried to show that limits to growth on the planet will be reached sometime in next hundred years if present growth trends in world population. These rights should also be included in this set of well-being indicators even though they do not fall in the economic category. In societal terms. they suggest that it does not respect national boundaries. clean air and clean surrounding in order to define the quality of life. Most people would agree that development is a process and the process is multidimensional. shelter and healthcare provided in the prison is far superior to what we normally get outside. shelter. which produced a report in 1987 under the title 'Our Common Future'. We normally discussed development as process not as level. which people enjoy in certain societies. it is said that. which are all indices of well-being. If ozone layer withers. whole humanity will suffer from its consequences. which we often resort to. It is indeed difficult to determine the path that is sustainable or to find out whether the path is unique. global warming will take place. therefore. on future development of technology. our attention would be focussed on the level of development achieved at a given point of time (given year). Irrespective of where green house gases are produced. Human Development Index and Quality of Life Index. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT In this subunit. are denied in others. The items listed above lead to better health. One should also be interested in distribution of well-being along gender. Many analysts hold that a society with somewhat overall lower literacy rate but equality between male and female literacy rates is better than another that has somewhat higher overall literacy rate but has gross inequality between male and female literacy rates. there is another shred of thinking which is not altogether unrelated to it. which at times may not be captured through monetary valuation. However. But such a comparison is often made. There is little reliance. However. pollution. no matter how much of many desirable goods we are able to buy from market. Growth is basically an inter-temporal comparison. be modified as a path of development in which options of future generations are not compromised by the path taken by the present generation. It simply makes us cautious about our choice over consumption style and efforts in inventing technology and perhaps restraining growth in population. then we will not have a good life. NNPFC divided by population is popularly known as per capita income. A suggestion was also made to deduct the social cost of harmful effects in terms of variety of pollutions that many economic activities entail. our NNPFC has grown a little more than eight fold over the last fifty years but the population has also almost trebled during this period. Indicator s of Development ADVERTISEMENT The following three suggestions have been made for correcting the weaknesses of the measure of per capita income: (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT • • • Distribution of national income over individuals is an important dimension. GNP is somewhat less than GDP. which cannot be ignored. In our case. it becomes necessary to find out the size of population. we get gross national product (GNP). It has been argued that the welfare of a society depends on what is the size of the cake and how it is distributed over people. Most of the limitations arise from the numerator whatever it may be. is not the total welfare that the people look for. if we want to compare the welfare of people at two points of time or of two economies at the same point of time. which are nonmarketed. Otherwise a country like Canada. These concepts do not account for the economic activities performed inside the household. Then. per capita income has grown less than three times. Still further. which is often used to categorise countries as developed/ underdeveloped countries or high/ middle/low income countries. Such a division (deflation/normalisation) is needed even to assess the progress over time. therefore. foreigners have property in our economy and some foreigners do work here. the command of people over goods is somewhat different than GDP. As a result. valued at constant prices. The population of India may be 30 times that of Canada. otherwise. national incomes should be divided by sizes of their respective populations. for which development is pursued. As a result. could be found to be poorer than India. we earn wage income or property income outside the country. been argued that its value needs to be added to the national income in order to make it yield a better measure of welfare. should be divided by the size of the population. From the view point of welfare or well-being of the people. both. Bulk of women's household work gets ignored. even though imperfectly. Our living conditions can be expected to have become better by a factor of three rather than by a factor eight. Over time. which it can measure. It does not adequately capture activities performed even outside household. So. we should subtract that amount of capital. However. we should take account of consumption of fixed capital in the process of production. is considered a rich country. With this in view. Similarly. while it is equally important fromthe point of view of well-being and welfare of people.Per Capita Income Gross domestic product is supposed to measure the level of output produced by the economy during an accounting period. eat away the whole of our fixed capital. In short. We may further note that it is this indicator. which we think has been consumed in the process of production. For example. In order to render international comparisons meaningful. we shall. GNP or NNP. it is suggested that the NNPFC. We shall use a particular version of net national product known as net national product at factor cost and designate as NNPFC. according to many. may be the ultimate aim of all activities. which. However. It is also pointed out that economic welfare. GDP and GNP are not very different. Net national product is also known as the national income. Adjusting for these incomes. GDP. It may be noted that GNP better represents the entitlement of the nationals of a country (individuals and their collectivities) while GDP actually shows the output of the activities carried out within the economic boundaries of the country. . per capita national income has come to be increasingly used. people have come to enjoy more leisure. it helps us to compare the development of India with that of the USA or with that of Pakistan for any given year as also our own development over time. We should ensure that the capital stock is kept intact during the year. there are economies where GNP and GDP are quite different. We have our property outside our own national economy and some of our nationals work in other countries. activities for which there does not exist market do not adequately get accounted for. In the case of large countries and countries having little interaction with other countries for factors of production. In the case of international comparison. what we shall get is known as Net National Product (NNP). Now. namely. It helps us to compare the level of development of the country in 2001 when we are 100 crore with that in 1961 when we were 43 crore only. which by all standards. But. It has. As production is valued in terms of market prices. one day. have to be considered together. National income and its distribution. it is very often pointed out that its scope is quite limited. per capita incomes of different countries have to be brought to a common currency. low infant mortality and good literacy levels. finally. literacy have undisputedly been accepted as parameters of quality of life.Evolution of Alternative Measures These corrections. life expectancy shows the output.

The levels in Sri Lanka are comparable to their counterparts in developed countries. 1960 US $ Percentage of salaried and wage earners to total economically active population While at your level. were not the values of particular societies as there could be non-market. he could find only three which could have universal appeal as ends in themselves and meet the criteria laid down. raised: whether inputs can be taken as development indicators. it was natural for researchers to try to develop such indices as would capture these social dimensions. and the OECD developmenteconomists. they selected only 16 as it was found that many of the indicators were reflected through others. Composite index should be simple to construct and easy to comprehend and should lead itself to international comparison. and 3. attempts have been made in the recent past to construct indices. He. some attempts have been made to develop some alternative indicators of economic welfare and of social development. They also included enrolment rates. Basic Literacy (BL). such efforts seem to measure development as an activity rather than as an end. A question was. While hospital facilities indicate inputs. It implied that economically less developed countries are simply underdeveloped versions of industrialised countries. which may. which have both used longevity and literacy as basic constituents. an idea of the variables that were included in such attempts could be of some interest. electricity consumption and steel consumption per head. It is important to remind at this stage that these indices were developed in the international context and were used for ranking different countries according to numerical value of achievement in descending order. There is. therefore. broadly. indeed. literacy rate shows the output. however. non-industrial or non-plan ways to develop. Quality of Life Indices We may recall the constituents of quality of life in the previous chapter. These are: 1 Life Expectancy (LE). the things that you directly enjoy. 2. Moreover. Morris David Morris perused the variables adopted by several UN Committees. He further proposed that indicators chosen should reflect results and social distribution of results and should not reflect values of specific (Euro-American) societies. political and economic variables (indicators) impinging upon industrialisation. These are important indicators and are considered by many as the ends in themselves. Therefore. an attempt to measure quality of life and we will make reference to it towards the end. However. non-urban. The indices are simple arithmetic averages of normalised aggregates for society/groups. did not leave many people satisfied and national income or its per capita variant as indicators of welfare have been in use for long though with reservations. It overlooks the diversity among the underdeveloped countries and the differences in social organisation in different economies. If you have better sanitation. viz. Researchers and policy-makers were not very happy with such alternatives to nationalincome as welfare measures as they did not find the approach suitable to produce a meaningful social indicator. Out of hundred and odd indicators. In fact. purportedly based on aims and objectives of development or outcomes of thedevelopment process rather on the means thereof. Choice of Indicators Morris. Physical Quality of Life Index Towards the end of the seventies of the past century. number of villages electrified and availability of post offices also got their way into it. proposed a set of criteria for developing a composite index of development. He found that most of the indicators were inputs to development process rather than result of the development process. freedom. environment. longevity and Foreign trade per capita. These indicators reflected the belief that there exists only one course of development. While enrolment rate indicates an input. the UNRISD. education. etc. which they thought. they listed as many as 73 indicators though. We shall be studying two popular indices. be called indices of quality of life. At one stage. .. people tried to develop such indices as would encompass social. Search for better indicators of social development has continued. There is an UN institution called United Nations Research Institute for Social Development(UNRISD). it is not necessary to go into the nitty-gritty of the ways the indices were developed.. Infant Mortality (IM). Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) and Human Development Index (HDI). you have better health and you require less of hospital facilities. Length of metalled roads. Based on these parameters. They went on enlisting indicators. They were generally indicated as health. reflected some or the other dimension of development. which were the results of the development efforts. We often read in the newspaper that Sri Lanka has a fairly high life expectancy. in the last few decades. The variables included are per capita income. So did the character of agricultural organisation. therefore. tried to look for those indicators. then. Our own state Kerala has done wonders on literacy front as well as on demography front. made to develop composite index ofdevelopment. hospital beds and number of doctors per lakh of population. In this institute. This view has certain biases and value-bias of Europe. however. Attempts were. Tamil Nadu is also faring well. In case. has been ranking various countries according to the level of human development index. These three indicators are averaged to give what is called the Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI): PQLI = (1/3) (LEI + IMI + BLI ) Choice of Minimum and Maximum Values As in the case of life expectancy and infant mortality. Morris chose the best and worst levels in each of the three cases. Whosoever is born will die. first the minimum values are subtracted from their respective actual values and then. each of the levels should.70. for positive indicators: Actual Value – Minimum Value Achievement Level= ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Maximum Value–Minimum Value For the negative indicator of infant mortality. infant mortality and the proportion of children. The conversions from values to indices are linear. which need not hold us. infant mortality rate in terms of per thousand and basic literacy rate in terms of percentage. first the actual value has to be subtracted from the maximum value and then the gap has to be divided by the range. But. For converting the actual levels of a positive variable into normalised indicators. Normally. the figure for life expectancy at age one was not available. another index came into being. Whether a country should have a higher rate of basic literacy through formal channels or non-formal channels is not important. Morris suggested that life expectancy at age one should be used instead of life expectancy at birth. in the case of negative indicator of infant morality. viz. (ii) Infant Mortality Indicator (IMI).These three indicators could be improved in a variety of ways. there exist no natural minimum and maximum values. the best is represented by the minimum and the worst by the maximum. We may call them (i) Life Expectancy Indicator (LEI). This is also almost universally accepted. it could be worked out by using a formula. therefore. Further. now. life expectancy at birth is the index used. For example. is not really important. three such indicators. Put the actual values of the country in the expressions below and obtain the component indices as also the Physical Quality of Life Index. In the case of positive indicators of life expectancy and basic literacy. Whether a country should attain higher life expectancy through better medical facilities or better sanitation or better nutrition. Since 1990. an agency of the United Nations. it would be an interesting idea to look at the GDP/GNP from a fresh . Now. there is a technical issue. They cannot be simply added. The PQLI is. The expressions are given below: Actual Life Expectancy at Age 1 – 38 LEI = ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 39 229 – Actual Mortality Rate IMI = –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 220 Actual Literacy Rate – 0 BLI = ––––––––––––––––––––––– 100 suppose for India. Try step by step and you will find that LEI is 0. the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been publishing every year a report called Human Development Report. Normalisation of Indicators We know that life expectancy is measured in terms of years. IMI is 0. Infant mortality refers to deaths before age one. Maximum Value – Actual Value Achievement Level=––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Maximum Value–Minimum Value Index Construction There are. one has to choose reasonable values. In other words. Before the human development index is described. infant mortality rate is 70 per thousand live births and adult literates constitute to be 55 per cent of adult population.72 and BLI is 0. there exist no natural minimum or maximum values for other indicators. the best is denoted by the maximum and the worst by the minimum. Morris chose the following set of values They may need revision in the light of recent experience of countries. In other words. But it is universally accepted that a country should have high life expectancy. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT This report. maximum life expectancy could now be raised to 85 years. is accepted but those who have been born should not die as children in infancy. life expectancy at age one is 70 years. the gap so obtained is divided by the range (between the maximum and the minimum). Therefore.82. This is the point generally accepted. about 0. After a lot of considerations. Human Development Index Only ten years passed since the PQLI was developed. which relates life expectancy at birth. therefore. But a country should try to attempt for higher level of literacy is the point. For the purpose of comparison. be normalised. while basic literacy rate can have a natural zero for minimum and 100 for maximum. besides discussing various aspects of human development. and (iii) Basic Literacy Indicator (BLI).55. It is quite possible that most of the countries excluded were above India. The weight assigned to adult literacy rate (ALR) is 2/3 while that for combined enrolment ratio (CER) is 1/3. Thus. .8 or below 0. These reports do contain more information on human development than are available in compilation of HDI. This could be reflected through mean years of schooling or enrolment ratio. It may be noted that ALRI and CERI are just ALR and CER respectively. These indices are published in Human Development Report. But at the same time. Per capita incomes are first converted into purchasing power parity dollars (PPP$). it has been argued. it is an equi-weighted average of : 1.5 and 0.

We should also notice that India's rank improved by 2 from 123 in 1988 to 121 in 1990 while the HDI value actually fell. not at age one. Prior to 2000. In other words. we can write only one formula for computing the component indices (CI): Actual Value of the Component– Minimum Value of the Component CI = –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––------------------------------Maximum Value of the Component– Minimum Value of the Component where CI stands for LEI. It will not be out of place to inform that some scholars have done interstate comparison for India while some state governments have come out with state-level exercises for humandevelopment index. It is difficult to capture them. Standard of Living Index (SLI) where the sub-indices were to be calculated by the same old method of the PQLI. It is possible because of change in methodology and components used. mean years of schooling have been replaced by combined enrolment ratio. returns to additions in income are diminishing as income goes on increasing. Per capita national income is the simplest measure of resources at the command of people. per capita incomes of different nations have per force to be brought to some common denominator. The UNDP has been categorising various countries ascountries with high human development. there are many things which people desire. For living a decent life. The second step concerns with the fact that the returns to a dollar of income is not the same throughout the whole range of income. and 4 respectively. There could be many other ways to accomplish this feature. The increase in returns should diminish as income increases and should eventually become zero. The Index Human Development Index is broadly an average of social aggregates/averages of longevity. education (including literacy) and general standard of living (represented by per capita income). Minimum and Maximum Values After a lot of debate over years and following the norms for various components. India's rank improved by 13 while number of countries dropped by 12. It is pointed out that these measures are measures of activity and they concentrate on production of commodities -.5. In 2000. Later on. Standard of living = log (PCI in PPP$) You know very well that. Since March 2002. India was considered as low human developmentnation. Life Expectancy Index (LEI) 2. In other words. We can notice that the data compilation takes time. depending upon whether a country had HDI value above 0. educational attainment index may be given as: EAI = (2/3) ALR + (1/3) CER Standard of living is represented here by a transformation of per capita income. logarithms of 10. Since this exercise has basically been conducted for international comparison. and 10000 are 1. 1000. it was only adult literacy. With rising capabilities. Besides longevity and knowledge. HDR 2001 has calculated HDI values for differentcountries on uniform basis with same methodology by ensuring comparability across nations and over time. 3. standard of living is being captured by the log-transform of per capita income (PCI) in PPP$. life expectancy (reflecting health to some extent). To put it more concretely. Normalisation Since we are using only positive indicators in this index. knowledge and access to resources. Fortunately. Therefore. people need resources. To begin with. 100. CERI and SLI. we can see that India's HDI value is improving since 1990 when it recorded its lowest value. adult literacy was complete but education level was still rising. HDI and India The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been compiling humandevelopment indices for different countries for which it had access to relevant data. Presently. because infant mortality is not entering this index as a separate indicator. our Planning commission has also come out with a report known as National Human Development Report. Education Attainment Index (EAI) 3. Living long and healthy life is a capability and so is to be able to read and write. We can also notice Between the last two years. In highly developed countries.8. Despite these weaknesses. it became a combination of adult literacy rate and mean years of schooling. with medium human development and with low human development. In a way it is close to PQLI except that now the theoretical scaffolding is strong. each divided by 100. we have wider choices and development is what if not widening of choices! The idea has an added dimension that these capabilities cannot be accumulated. we find. at base 10. a non-physical entity will enter in the making of index and it will create problem for international comparison. The UNDP has tried other formulae in past but thought it proper to change to simple logarithm conversion. HDI=(1/3)(LEI+EAI+SLI) Components Life expectancy here refers to life expectancy at birth. Now. This idea was handled by the UNDP in a variety of ways. between 0. We should. instead focus on capabilities and measure improvement in capabilities of people. Perhaps we are improving on all fronts. the UNDP has finally fixed the following minimum and maximum values for various components ofHuman Development Index. which incorporated per capita income along with longevity and knowledge (redefined as educational attainment). The PQLI had a great technical flaw. In 'socio-economic' indicators. China and India come 10th and 12th best from the top. He thought that it represented the outcome of developments. Many scholars are not completely happy and have chosen to indicate an alternative. China scores better than India. Pakistan and Bangladesh but in 'Political and Civil' indicators. need to be incorporated in any such exercise. Governance will mean who will govern and under what laws.

Parthasarthy Dasgupta and Martin Weale suggested a way of combining some aspects of quality of life into an index. which is called Quality of Life Index. the HumanDevelopment Index. particularly social development. (ii) life expectancy at birth in years. this work was done from late 1970s to early 1990s. Though the story is a bit old. Third. The result was not a happy one. Mauritius comes the best and Sri Lanka. In both the pairs. while political rights are citizens' right to play a part in governance of their country. the second best. Others did try to modify the GDP by adding the values of those things that were left out in the idea of GDP or subtracting the cost of the items that do not contribute to the welfare. urbanisation and industrialisation. Though. the last two could be said to be 'political and civil' indicators. They combined inputs with output. They feel that political and civic dimensions. Some other scholars and agencies thought that they should directly measure the development. which are no way less important. While the first four could be called 'socio-economic' indicators. Bangladesh and Pakistan. In one such contribution 'On Measuring the Quality of Life'. (iii) infant mortality rate in per thousand live births. the UNDP considers it prudent to include it as proxy to the uncovered aspects of well-being. countries are ranked according to each of the indicators in ascending order from worst to best.Quality of Life Index Some economists still feel that. These are: (i) per capita income in PPP$. It was further found that the concept did not include many other aims and objectives of life except longevity and knowledge. using the data relating the results are interesting. These indicators are aggregated in a peculiar way. Growth and Structural Change in the Indian Economy Introduction In this chapter you will study the growth of and structural change in the Indian economy in the last fifty years since 1950-51 for which data on most of the macro aggregates are available on an annual basis. were not covered in this index. Second. He did not deliberately cover the monetary aspects which pose problem for international comparison. So came HDI. Dasgupta and Weale have considered six parameters what they have called living standards' indicators or constituents of well-being. They considered all possible variables that impinged upon modernisation. it may hold even today. India scores better than China. Most of the variables were all on the side of inputs. Infant mortality and life expectancy both referred to the same demographic ground. Yet. though human development approach talks of many dimensions. There are objections to incorporation of income in HDI on many counts. He was conscious of the fact that many psychological aspects. the ranks for different indicators of country are added and thus for each country a rank-score is obtained. while Bangladesh and Pakistan come 26th and 30th from the top. First. Some economists developed composite indices taking into consideration the distributional aspects. if not environmental ones. the human development index encompasses only very few of them. (v) index of political rights in seven-point scale and (vi) index of civil rights in seven-point scale. We may note that civil rights are rights of individuals vis-a-vis the State. (iv) adult literacy rate in per cent of adult population. Morris developed what he called the Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI). Of 48 countries listed. Concluding Remarks Intellectuals and policy-makers were not very happy with the use of GDP or its per capita variant as an indicator of welfare or development. though important ones.countries are again ranked according to their rank-scores. scores in 'socio-economic' indicators are found to diverge from those in 'political and civil' indicators. We shall calculate growth rate per annum by decades only. But we are and should be more interested to know whether growth rate itself has risen over time. Some would also like to find out how the production of output is divided between rural and urban areas of the country or between public and private sectors of the economy or between organised and unorganised sectors. If we include forestry and logging and fishing in this sector. the contribution of primary sector is found to be about 60 per cent. one of the notions of development was posed in terms of structural change along with growth. it is a little more than Rs 10. All such breakups have been used by scholars. generally it has been rising. We shall use two popular methods of calculation of annual rate of growth for long periods. then the contribution turns out to be 57-58 per cent.000).700 at 1993-94 prices (while in 1999-2000. that is. that is.We shall concentrate on the growth of gross domestic product at factor cost valued at 1993-94 prices. In 1950-51. Other factors such as land and capital are not given equal importance. We shall discuss all of them. in order to give you a feel about the general tendency of rise and occasional decline in a few years in comparison to their respective preceding years. In an earlier chapter. We can also calculate rates of growth for different plan-periods or different decades or for periods divided by significant events. by the time we got Independence. viz. Contribution of the service sector was thus around 30 per cent. Manufacturing contributed only around 10 per cent. handicrafts and other merchandise. We notice from the graph that there were occasional drops in the GDP which we do not notice in the abridged Table presented here. But we can appreciate developments since Independence better once we have a little hint about the scene on the eve of Independence. And. The contribution of agriculture sector (including animal husbandry and livestock) to the GDP was around 54 per cent by current prices and 50 per cent by constant prices of 1993. However. before the onset of industrial revolution in Britain. Even during the early British Raj. The rate of growth of per capita income during the hundredyear period before Independence. we were known for producing fine cotton fabric. our economy was primarily reduced to an agricultural economy and we used to export mainly raw materials and minerals for the British industries and even foodgrains while we might have been hungry ourselves.5 per cent per annum. Economy on the eve of Independence We had inherited an economy. In the past. also valued at 1993-94 prices. What do we mean by structure? Most people mean by it production structure. composition of output produced by the economy. if we add mining and quarrying and call the combined sector as primary sector. which can be taken as the simplest indicator of the level of living or development. Over the period of last fifty years. Some would like to find out how and where our labour is absorbed. from whatever scanty information is available. we give here a graphical presentation of the whole series. Growth of GDP since 1950-51 Growth of an economy is reckoned with growth in its GDP at constant prices. We shall consider the growth of per capita national income. It has further been noted that there were long spells when the economy actually stagnated or declined.94. average annual growth andcompound annual growth rate. Yet. But. which was basically geared to the interest of our colonial masters. was just 0. . We have now a complete series of gross domestic product at 1993-94 prices from 1950-51 onwards but we give here the GDP series at five yearly interval (see above table). our economy was an industrial economy by the standards of those days whereas the European economies had yet to usher in modern civilisation. it has increased more than eight times. Most of the people were engaged in agriculture—as cultivators on their own tiny holdings or as wage labourers on others' fields. our per capita income was no more than Rs 3. there is a decline over the year in the previous row. However.

Presently. Growth of Per Capita Income Per capita income is the ratio of net national product to the (mid-year) size of population. In fact. after a gap of five years. which helped change the productivity of the agricultural economy and diversification of the industrial economy of the country. of late. at constant prices of 1993-94. Generally. we have only decennial figures and. But. there is some rise in normal years.We present below the rates of growth of GDP for each of the decades and for the half century gone by in the following table. 1965-66 and 1966-67 were years of severe drought. in the case of population. therefore. We can remember that. that is. Population has been secularly rising in the last fifty years though. with a view to giving you an idea about the wider fluctuations in case of per capita income. though they gave us green revolution. In none of the years shown here. Annual per capita incomehas risen a little less than three times from a little less than Rs 3. Dividing net national product by the size of population. sixties and seventies. as the component of net factor income from abroad is small in comparison to the total. From Table. It means that 1965-66 was a particularly bad year. we notice that the rate of growth for the whole duration is conclusively more than 4 per cent per annum. it can be safely accepted that the rate of growth is close to six per cent per annum. per capita income is calculated. .000 in 2000-01. Some credit can be given to the policies adopted in the eighties and nineties on the growth front but credit should also be given to the base created during the fifties. can calculate only a single rate of growth of population. Net national product is likely to follow the pattern of gross domestic product. one can notice that there is hardly any rise in 1965-66 over 1960-61. Using this technique. we give here the graphical presentation.700 in 1950-51 to over Rs10. Changes in Production Structure of the Economy As an economy grows. In total. We are now quite comfortable with the overall performance of agriculture. manufacturing/ industry. We did not have exactly the same classification always. industry is accommodated in 'mining (and quarrying). This is just a matter of convention. some swapping of activities is possible. increases but less than proportionately. as income increases. The manufacturing sector is further subdivided into registered and unregistered manufacturing. its production structure changes. now it is part of manufacturing. there are 18 categories. milk and meat and gives to industry the raw material needed particularly for consumer goods industries. There are many periods when agricultural production actually fell. One is agriculture. So. Since our Table does not include all the years. You may also note in your family that. It moves from agriculture towards manufacturing and structure changes. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT It moves from agriculture towards manufacturing and services. may be. We were most severely hit in agriculture in the consecutive years of 1965-66 and 1966-67. noodles. Moreover. other sectors included in primary sectors are small. if we club the sectors of electricity. There are. While new products gain entry with each major revision of national accounts. Absolute Contribution of Different Sectors It is easy to see that agriculture production has been continuously on increase and has increased about fourfold. it would be interesting for you to do your own exercises and develop your own views on contributions of different sectors. Industry as a sector does not occur in it. decline. But forestry and logging and fishing are clubbed with agriculture to make a broad sector of 'agriculture. If we add the sector of mining and quarrying to this sector. two three-fold classifications in which economists discuss changes in production structure. Besides cultivation of crops. broadly speaking. You might have noticed that relatively well-off families spend proportionately less on food items and more on manufactured items. Our Central Statistical Organisation uses nine broad categories. Compared to agriculture. gave us green revolution. On the other hand. Bread. Yet. you should note that normally absolute amount of expenditure does not. in which total economic activity of the country is presented in the National Accounts Statistics. It is understandable. We often aggregate them on the basis of similarity of products or nature of activities. agriculture includes livestock and animal husbandry. But. Whenever we notice a fall in the gross domestic product. . will now reach after some processing and through long channel of distribution. it is difficult to discuss in terms of each single item. however. some of them even re-emerge. which used to directly reach the households. We know that hundreds of thousands of activities are always in operation in any modern economy. sauces and juices are good examples. sectors and sub-sectors. Six of them are further subdivided in two/three/four subcategories. however. For example. many agricultural products. Many activities emerge and some of them die down. called sectors. These years. gas and water supply and construction with manufacturing. earlier LPG gas was included in the sector of electricity. let us see how the production structure has changed. in a modified form. expenditure on items other than food increases more than proportionately. secondary and tertiary. It means activities ofmanufacturing and trade will increase. in fact. There may be differences between countries and within a country changes in classification may occur over time. the contribution of primary sector is found to have risen only four times. It implies that production structure should shift away from agriculture. gas and water supply. Industry may include manufacturing and mining and quarrying. and services and the other is primary. we can call it 'secondary' sector. a major reason is likely to be a fall in agricultural production as its contribution to GDP had been substantial. manufac-turing and electricity'. we can call it 'primary sector' as these activities are associated with nature. But. we had had two-three years of setback in each of the decade. While we shall highlight some salient features of production structure or composition of output. We should remember that agriculture gives us food. forestry and fishing'. we do not find any drop in agricultural production. depending upon whether manufacturing units are registered under Factories Act 1948. a sector may lose relative position. despite good rise in absolute terms. Annual construction activity also rose ten times. The share of electricity.4 to 13. Electricity. 2. Thus. Its contribution rose 60 times in 50 years. it may be pointed out that public administration and defence. despite positive contribution. The share of manufacturing in GDP has gradually risen from 9 per cent to 17 per cent over the period. while agriculture contributed 50 per cent to the making of GDP in 1950-51. Secondary sector as a whole raised its contribution from about 14 per cent to more than 24per cent.7 per cent to 12. while the share rose from 4 per cent to 6 per cent. contributing less than Rs 500 crore at 1993-94 prices. Overall contribution of the secondary sector rose fifteen-fold.Manufacturing which contributed about Rs 12. gas and water supply. in 1950-51. The activity of construction. contributed to the tune of Rs. The share ofcontribution of activities of trade.7 per cent while that of community and personal services increased from 9. and canals. Let us look at the tertiary sector. the contribution of community and social services dominated the scene but it gradually gave way to trade but in the nineties sector of financial and business services emerged as close contestant. including public administration and defence rose only eleven-fold. gas and water supply were in nascent stage in the wee hours of Independence. Financial and business services including insurance and real estate also rose fifteen times while community. Within the broad category of community and social services. are now contributing more than 6 per cent. Thus. in the second half of the twentieth century while the contribution of primary sector to GDP rose to four fold that of secondary and tertiary sectors rose by fifteen fold each.500 crore in 1950-51. it contributes less than 25 per cent at the close of the century despite four-fold increase in its output. storage and communication rose from 3. Construction does not mean only houses but also roads and railway lines. during the first twenty years. among the sectors within tertiary sector. etc. dams. and also huts. Thecontribution of primary sector came down from close to 60 per cent to less than 30 per centover the period. which contributed to the tune of 3 per cent in 1950-51. It may be noted that. bridges and flyovers. The secondary sector is closely contesting the primary sector as far as its contribution to the GDP is concerned. The contribution of financial and business services increased from 6.3 per cent to 7.3per cent over half the century. hotel and restaurant business rose from 8-9 per cent to 14-15 per cent while that of transport. Relative Contribution of Different Sectors Relative contribution of a sector depends on its own performance as well as that of other sectors. during the last thirty years it fell back to 5 per cent. almost sixteen-fold increase over the period. However.4 per cent. social and personal services. Trade along with hotel and restaurant business rose fourteen-fold over the period while transport along with storage and communication rose eighteen-fold. the share of public administration and defence has risen from 1/3 to 1/2 over the period .5 per cent. which was hardly one third of oneper cent rose to close to 2.00.000 crore in 1999-2000. As a result. is considered to be slackening. But the presence of public sector in production. the net domestic product generated was 37. Though this ratio is not deteriorating over time. The drop in the share of agriculture is shared between secondary and tertiary sectors. transportation (bullock carts and tractors) are also part of rural activities and rural folk benefit from them. As a habitation diversifies its economic activities. 20 per cent.5 per cent.6 per cent points but just the reverse could be said to be the case with the urban area. Changes by Other Segregations of Production Three important divisions of activities are often discussed by scholars so far as productionstructure is concerned. When we look at the data for 1993-94. The overall movement seems to be away from primary/agricultural complex to secondary and tertiary sectors. gas and water supply accorded a very low rate of growth of 4 per cent per annum during the seventies. But the loss of 6. agricultural situation during sixties and seventies can be said to be bad as the rates of growth fell below that of population. (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT We should take these rates with a pinch of salt as they crucially depend upon initial and final figures. which grew at the rate of 7. Therefore. a couple of exceptions to this observation. its contribution to net domestic product has reduced by 8. We have firm data on contribution . The seventies were bad for all sectors. division being made between public and private. Roughly speaking.7). we can afford a little lower growth rate in future. beyond public administration and control. was (more content follows the advertisement below) ADVERTISEMENT very little before Independence. better than during the nineties. which is a major reason for decline in its share. So long as it does not create bottleneck for raw material for industry and supply of foodgrains does not fall short of domestic demand.8 per cent per annum. it is high enough to make people move to urban areas even if unemployment rate is somewhat higher in urban areas. the growth of foodgrains production is somewhat slackening. All service sectors are growing faster in the nineties than they did in the eighties wherein performance was better than that in the seventies in terms of growth. Electricity. We do not have regular annual series of production output of the activities according to rural-urban division.45 times that in the rural area. we ought to produce enough foodgrains ourselves. Secondary sector as a whole did pretty well during the eighties. From the perusal of these statistics. there has been public sector. one would notice that in 1970-71 only 62. The CSO has made available such a division for the years 1970-71. The number of rural habitations is over 10 lakh. The third one is about organised and unorganised sectors.Growth of Different Sectors we can also derive a table giving us the rate of growth of different sectors. location being divided between rural and urban areas. Thus. Even if we import some agricultural produce. The rate of growth of primary sector has always been lower than that of secondary and tertiary sectors. one can see. we gather that while population proportion in rural area has reduced by about 6. per capita net domestic product in the urban area was 2.39 times that in the rural area. Manufacturing sector activity grew at twice the rate of agriculture.7 points in 19. which in 1950-51 used to be around 16 per cent. On the other hand. Division between Rural and Urban Areas Agriculture is the industry of the country-side and manufacturing is the industry of the town. trade (retail). There is not one broad sector of economic activities where public sector is altogether absent.2 points is not the same as gain of 6. net accretions to the two areas on per capita basis show that per capita net domestic product in the urban area is 2. 1980-81 and 1993-94 but only at current prices and for net domestic product. Foodgrains dominate in ouragriculture and we cannot afford to import it. and as time passes the share of tertiary sectors is increasing faster than the share of secondary sectors.8 points. In India. During the nineties. The second is on the basis of ownership of productionestablishments. Division between Public Sector and Private Sector Ever since there has been the state. in last fifty years. said Adam Smith. the number of villages is now about six lakh and a village may have more than one hamlet.7 per cent points. the number of towns has increased from 2800 to 3600 andpopulation living in them has increased from a little over 6 crore to 26 crore. Not only agricultural and pastoral activities are carried out in rural habitations. father of Economics. manufacturing (handicrafts). being a large country. There are. With the help of these figures.7 points in 80. We have computed only compound annual growth rates (Table 3. we gather some broad idea about the shift in activities. The nineties belong to the tertiary sector. The proportion of population living in urban habitation is now well over 25 per cent. it changes its status from rural to urban at some point meeting certain definitional marks. It has been increasing over time as we pursued a policy of state intervention in various sectors for variety of reasons. So was the case with construction.5 per cent net domestic product was generated in the rural area where more than 80 per cent population resided (and worked) while in the urban area population residing (and working) was less. One is the division regarding location of activities. Even in the sector of manufacturing its share has gradually increased from around 7 per cent in 1960-61 to around 20 per cent in 1998-99. however. Its role in transport has also plummeted to some extent yet it plays a great role. the growth rate of GDP was a little over 4 per cent per annum. it rose from 6. manufacturing accounts for 40 per cent and community and personal services. In agriculture its presence has increased but it predominantly seems to be irrigation as this activity is accounted for within the sector of agriculture. In financial sector too. They are made for each of basic four categories. Even 6. There is a variety of ways in which employment data is presented.

A further dose of nationalisation in 1975-76 led to its further rise to 27 per cent by 1980-81. are treated as unemployed. This proportion is higher in the case of male members and those living in villages. With passage of time. (However. shop or factory or engage themselves in some or the other activity on their own account.

The share in construction activity has increased from less than 5 per cent in 1960-61 to almost 16 per cent in 1998-99.. A cursory look suggests that the importance of public sector had been on increase with the passage of time in practically all sectors. People who are willing to work at the prevailing wage rate but are not employed. and reached around 30 per cent by 1980-81. They are supposed to maintain accounts. They work on somebody else's farm. viz. comparable NSS data is available from 1972-73 only at an interval of five years . Its contribution in forestry and logging sector is drastically reducing. The railways are completely with the Government of India. we discussed the growth of GDP and PCI. We opt for the NSS data. the presence of public sector rose significantly. Concluding Remarks In this chapter. Factory Act. We noticed that. has increased close to 27 per cent though of late the speed of rise has slackened. over the span of fifty years. During the eighties and nineties. we tried to have some idea about the economy in the initial years of our Independence and emphasised that the first half of the twentieth century was bad in terms of growth as well as in terms of diversification of the economy. The reason is that poor people cannot afford to be unemployed. a large number comes from the educated lot).
