The Human Development Report was first produced in 1990 with the single goal of putting people back at the centre of the development process in terms of economic debate, policy, and advocacy. The goal was both massive and simple, with far ranging implications, going beyond income to assess the level of peoples's long-term well being. For the past 13 years, the Human Development Report has advocated development of the people, and for the people, emphasizing that the goals of development are the choices and freedoms.
