INFERENCES BASED ON THE ABOVE TABLES

-Gross inequality of incomes between the Rich and the Poor countries

-Widening gap in the per capita income of Rich and Poor countriesduring 1985-95

-During the past few years, the income growth rate of the poor countries has shown rising trends, which if sustained over a longer period ; the gap between the Rich and the Poor will decrease

-All high income countries are not necessarily developed countries, suchas, oil-exporting Gulf Countries

-Their per capita incomes are high, but they do not fulfill other parametersof a developed economy

GLOBALIZATION CONCEIVED AS A WAY OUT TO BRIDGE THEGAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR COUNTRIES

THE CONCEPT AND THE SCOPE OF GLOBALIZATION

There are different connotations and ramifications of themuch talked about term ³G lobalizat ion´. But from thepoint of view of Ec onomy , Busi ness, Hu man Development,

and M anag ement , the term Globalization connotes thefollowing four basic aspects:

� More choices

�Lower prices

� Blurred national identity for productsand services

Career choices and progression

-Fifteen Years of consistent efforts on the part of India in terms of Globalizing its Economy, It has

not been in a position to find a place amongthe top 20 Globalized countries of the world.-The four important components of globalizationare

-PERSONAL CONTACT

-TECHNOLOGY

-POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT

ECONOMIC INTEGRATION: TRADE, FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTAND PORTFOLIO CAPITAL FLOWS, AND INCOME PAYMENTS AND RECEIPTS(INCLUDING COMPENSATION OF NON RESIDENT EMPLOYESS AND INCOMEEARNED AND PAID ON ASSETS HELD ABROAD)

PERSONAL CONTACT: INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM,

INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE TRAFFIC, AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFERS

AND SECURE SERVERS

POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT: NUMBER OF MEMBERSHIPS IN

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, U.N. COUNCIL MISSIONS IN WHICH EACHCOUNTRY PARTICIPATES, AND FOREIGN EMBASSIES THT EACH COUNTRYHOSTS

There is a common myth that Globalization benefitsdeveloped countries at the cost of under-developedcountries. For instance, Japan figures at the 2ndlargest economy of the world next to U.S.A., but interms of Globalization Index Rankings (G.I.R.), Japan is at No.38.

Similarly, Germany, which is considered as the 3rdlargest economy of the world, figures at No.14 in termsof G.I.R..The more startling contrast is provided by China, which

in the year 2005 emerged as the 4th

largest economy of the world relegating U.K. to a lower position, figures at53rd ranking of the Globalization Index. This is sobecause the G.I.R. are based on parameters, which arenot exactly the same, which constitute the size of the

economy.

Balance� Carries promises and threats at the

national, regional, organizational, and

economies vulnerable to volatilities.

LIMITATIONS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH APPROACH:PARADIGM SHIFT

IN TERMS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Policy makers assumed that effects of higher 

economic growth would trickle down to poor.Mahbub ul Haq challenged this conventionalwisdom and asserted that there was no automaticlink between economic growth & human

development.Economic growth is necessary but not a sufficientcondition for human progress. Governments needto actively focus on HD goals & direct & use their resources efficiently so that economic growth leadsto empowerment of people & poverty alleviation.

Peoples¶ needs & their aspirations must be at thecentre of all develo ment efforts asserted Ha .

The Birth of Human DevelopmentConcept (1990 ± UNDP)

� Basic assumptions under this concept

 ± The true wealth of a country is its people.

 ± There are not developed and underdevelopedcountries, but developed and underdevelopedpeople.

 ± The best strategy to increase national income isnot to accumulate capital, but to develop people.

� Exactly Defined as ³Process of enlarging peopleschoice´

� Growth Advocates:

� Expanding incomeis an end in itself 

� Growth doestrickle down

HD Advocates:

Is Income Enough for Well-being?

� Economic growth is needed, butpublic policy is needed to translategrowth into HD. How?

» 1. Emphasis on investment in health,education, skills of people

» 2. More equitable distribution of assetsand income

» 3. Well structured public expenditures

Human Development Index (HDI)

�Introduced in 1990, the HDI measures acountry's achievements in three aspects of 

Human Development:

 ± Longevity: measured by life expectancy at

birth;

 ± Knowledge: measured by a combination of theadult literacy rate (2/3) and the combined grossprimary, secondary, and tertiary enrolment

ratio (1/3);

 ± Standard of living: measured by GDP per capita (Purchasing Power Parity of US$).

Page 47: Economic Analysis2

8/6/2019 Economic Analysis2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/economic-analysis2 47/57

Construction of the HDI1 Fixed minimum and maximum values are established for each

of these indicators:

1.) life expectancy at birth: 25 and 85 years;

2.) adult literacy rate (age 15 and above): 0% and 100%;

3.) combined gross enrollment ratio: 0% and 100%;

4.) GDP per capita (PPP$): $100 and $40,000 (PPPUS$).

2 For each component, individual indices are computedaccording to the general formula:

Index=(actual value ± minimum value) / (maximum value ±

minimum value)

3 The Education Index is compiled as

2/3(adult literacy index) + 1/3(gross enrolment index)

Page 48: Economic Analysis2

8/6/2019 Economic Analysis2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/economic-analysis2 48/57

Construction of the HDI ( Contd)

4. The GDP index is calculated using adjusted per capita(PPP$). In the HDI income serves as a surrogate for allthe dimensions of human development not reflected in along and healthy life and in knowledge.

Income is adjusted because achieving a respectable levelof human development does not require unlimitedincome. Accordingly, the logarithm of the income is used.

5. The HDI is a simple average of the life expectancy index,educational attainment index and adjusted GDP per capita PPP US$ index, and is derived by dividing the sumof these three indices by 3.

Page 49: Economic Analysis2

8/6/2019 Economic Analysis2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/economic-analysis2 49/57

Uses of HDI: Focus on humanoutcomes, not economic data

Comparisons within and between countries of the samelevel of development, as well as neighbors

If properly disaggregated, to monitor inequalities,recommend targeting, evaluate progress over time

To determine priorities for policy intervention

For lobbying policy makers who make budgetary allocations(needs to be understood and used by civil society)

To question national policy choices - how two countries withthe same level of income per person can end up with suchdifferent HD outcomes.
