From Capital to Capabilities: Human Development Theory and New Directions in Economic Development

Abstract

This paper investigates the potential of human development theory to provide alternatives to long-standing practical and conceptual problems in traditional economic development. We show that the capabilities approach developed by Sen and Nussbaum provides new solutions to four long-standing problems that define economic development activities focused on industrial recruitment and highly skilled professionals: (1) competition for scarce material resources, (2) connection to other planning specializations, (3) cities’ limited control over economies, and (4) coordinating the unmanageable networks that oversee plans. We demonstrate that these benefits are actual, rather than aspirational, by documenting the growth and diffusion of three types of urban economic policies that enact human development ideas: employment standards, reduced-cost education, and universal public programs

Analysis of the Influence of Motivation, Work Discipline and Recruitment on Performance of Tni-Au Members at Disbangopsau Mabesau Cilangkap Jakarta

“…Several studies that link recruitment to member performance include research conducted by (Raj & Axelby, 2019) which states that recruitment has a positive and significant effect on member performance. The results of this research are in line with the research conducted (Doussard & Yenigun, 2022;Hastings & MacKinnon, 2016) which states that recruitment has a negative influence on employee performance. Performance is the real behavior displayed by each person as a work achievement produced by members in accordance with their role in the organization.…”

Fixing Work, and Moving Beyond It

“…Most participants in economic development are already familiar with some of these ideas through the field's long-term focus on human capital, typically operationalized by measuring STEM training and educational attainment within a given workforce (Clarke & Gaile, 1998;Mathur, 1999). In practice, human capital theory often focuses on the capital-mobile professionals who take the place of mobile factories as the targets of economic developmentwhile neglecting investment in a place's existing population (Doussard & Yenigun, 2022). Shifting focus to people and the development of capabilities that allow them to contribute as fully as possible to the economy provides a way to account for a fuller web of policies shaping economic development.…”

Viral cash: Basic income trials, policy mutation, and post-austerity politics in U.S. cities

“…Understanding the structure and mechanics of diverse basic income trials thus constitutes an important step toward evaluating the development of post-austerity politics that diverge from and possibly counter the long-run neoliberal austerity in which the Covid-19 pandemic developed (Sparke and Williams, 2022). Increasingly discernible as a coherent policy shift in high-income democracies, the emergent turn toward an anti-austerity politics of human investment and development centers universal public services, reduced-cost or free education, and varied programs that treat human potential as a resource for economic growth and diversification (MacKinnon et al, 2022; Martin, 2021; Doussard and Yenigun 2022). Basic income trials unite the economic and political sides of this emergent turn, using cost-effective investments in people and their capacities to dramatize a distributive form of economic populism.…”
