The Report introduced a new approach to development studies for advancing human well-being. Development was defined as the richness of human life rather than simply the richness of the economy. It is an approach that focuses on individuals and their opportunities and choices. The new approach to development focusses on what individulas are able to do and to be. In this perspective, a healthy-stable national economy is one that enables a person to enjoy a long healthy life, good education, a meaningful job, family life, and the rule of law.
