development. (UN, reports on world social situation)– Human factor was seen to have been neglected in
thinking about economic developmetn and sectoral analyses based on concerns with expanding social welfare provision were elaborated.
• 1980s– Eradication of poverty and pursuit of equity– Effective development can be accomplished only if the
complex social structural issues which inhibit or channel developemnt are themselves addressed.
