This article discusses the role, as well as the scope, of public policies for human development in the contemporary developing and industrialised worlds, buffeted by frequent global and local economic crises, including a health pandemic of unprecedented proportions, where mainstream economic policies have often been detrimental, rather than conducive, to advancing human wellbeing. The paper revisits the human development framework and anchors it in an interpretation of the capability approach that helps in delineating economic and social policy pathways to desirable outcomes. It argues that this is essential for an effective operationalisation of the approach to human development. Building on that, it explores the nature of economic and social policies that might constitute an appropriate policy-mix for advancing human development. In doing so, it recognises that, while human development problems in poor and rich countries are similar, the choices, sequencing and prioritisation of policies will inevitably be determined by the country-context and government-objectives. Given the context, it suggests that the framework of SDGs at the national level could enable a focus on human development objectives in the policy design and strategic response of countries.KEYWORDS: Human developmentEconomic policiesSocial policiesMacroeconomic policiesInequalitiesWellbeingSocial opportunitiesSocial protectionHeterodox policesSustainable development goals Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 On average, an individual from the top 10% of the global income distribution earns PPP USD 122,100 per year, whereas an individual from the poorest half of the global income distribution earns PPP USD 3,920 per year (World Inequality Report Citation2022).2 The gap between the average incomes of the richest 10% of countries and the average incomes of the poorest 50 percent of countries dropped from around 50x to a little less than 40x. At the same time, inequalities increased significantly within countries. The gap between the average incomes of the top 10% and the bottom 50% of individuals within countries has almost doubled, from 8.5x to 15x.3 On average, the poorest half of the population owns PPP USD 4, 100 and the top 10% USD 771,300.4 For a discussion on the coronavirus pandemic, and the response of governments, in global perspective, see Nayyar and Thakur (Citation2021). See also, Nayyar (Citation2020).5 A recent Oxfam report indicates that the richest 1% of the world accounted for nearly two-thirds of all new wealth worth US $42 trillion created since 2020.
