With more than a billion people living
on less than one dollar per day, human well-being is a core issue for both researchers and
policymakers. The Millennium Development Goals are a powerful reminder of this point. We now
know more about human well-being and the related concepts of poverty and inequality than
ever before, as a result of many conceptual and methodological advances and better data. Yet
despite this progress, the vitality of underlying concepts and the quality of data are
repeatedly challenged and still leave much to be desired, particularly with regard to the
world's poorest countries. This book looks at advances in underlying well-being, poverty,
and inequality concepts and corresponding empirical measures and case studies. Traditional
monetary concepts and measurements are examined as well as educational achievement,
longevity, health, and subjective well-being. Among the measures examined is the Human
Development Index, which has done much to refocus attention on the importance of nonmonetary
measures of human wellbeing. Chapters review pre-existing concepts and measures, with a view
of future developments, while others propose new concepts or
measures.
