TOPIC 24 HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN ECUADOR
A NEW CONCEPTION OF DEVELOPMENT
Until the ‘30s of the 20th century, this was called PROGRESS, but then the concept of development began to be used as a synonym of well-being and wealth. In 1990, the United Nations published its first global report on HUMAN DEVELOPMENT causing a historic change in this conception.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT - CONCEPT
According to the United Nations:
▪ “Human Development is not only economic growth but also means empowerment of people, attention to basic needs, and the provision of social protection networks, political and cultural freedoms and other aspects of people's lives.”
According to human development there are four essential components:
✓ EQUITY: Sense of equal opportunities for all:
✓ SUSTAINABILITY: So that the new generations have the same welfare as the current ones.
✓ PRODUCTIVITY: What it means to promote a favorable environment so that people can develop their potential.
✓ EMPOWERMENT: Understanding that development must always have the participation of people.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN ECUADOR
Inequity, the persistence of poverty, unemployment, underemployment and economic informality have allowed a complete human development.
That is why it is necessary to direct public policies and international resources for development, the fruits of economic growth and technological progress towards the eradication of poverty, social inequality and guarantee of sustainability.
FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
There are three basic guidelines that the State should undertake for human development:
✓ SEARCH FOR EQUITY AS AN EXPLICIT OBJECTIVE OF SOCIAL POLICIES, which also includes access to information.
✓ PROMOTION OF PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT In order to take advantage of the potential of small, medium enterprises for productive and social generation, such as the production of food, tourism and environmental services.
✓ STRENGTHENING OF HUMAN CAPITAL in the fields of education, nutrition, health and infrastructure.
