Human Development : Comparitive Study of BRICS Countries
Khushboo Raheja
Abstract :
With an abundance of empirical data and a new way of thinking about and measuring development, the Human Development Report has had a profound impact on policies around the world. In recent decades, low– and middle–income countries such as Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba and China have succeeded in dramatically improving their citizens’ health. The number of people living below the poverty line has also fallen significantly in many large countries such as China, India and Brazil. Within Africa, Ghana and Senegal halved their incidence of poverty between the mid–1990s and 2010. Furthermore, the highest rates of GDP growth over the past decade have been in East Asia (8%), South Asia (7%) and Sub–Saharan Africa (5%) — “the three regions which account for the bulk of absolute poverty” globally. Despite these positive trends, there continue to be massive gaps in the degree of human development among countries. Compå the lives of people in Norway, Australia and Switzerland (most developed countries) to those in Congo, Niger and the Central African Republic (least developed), astonishing disparities emerge across all measures of health, wealth, security and well–being
