Abstract
The terms ‘social development’ and ‘economic development’ are becoming obsolete. Although the ‘social’ has long been separated from the ‘economic’, recent thinking and research challenges this sharp dichotomy as conceptually flawed and as likely to lead to misconceived policy formulation. The two terms gradually are being replaced by the single term ‘human development’, which embraces both social and economic issues and emphasizes their interlinkages. Throughout this study, human development will be substituted for social development and development policy will be substituted for social policy.
