In which one of the following approaches of human development are human beings the targets of all developmental activities? Choose the most appropriate option.
- Income Approach
- Welfare Approach
- Basic Needs Approach
- Capability Approach
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The Welfare Approach focuses on the overall well-being and quality of life of human beings. It aims to ensure that the basic necessities such as food, shelter, education, and healthcare are provided to all individuals, making humans the central targets of all development efforts.
- Income Approach: Emphasizes increasing income levels but does not necessarily focus directly on human welfare.
- Basic Needs Approach: Targets fulfilling minimum essential needs but may not address all aspects of human well-being.
- Capability Approach: Emphasizes expanding people’s freedoms and choices but is more focused on opportunities rather than direct welfare.
Hence, the Welfare Approach is the most appropriate when human beings are the direct targets of development activities.
