“I fully endorse the underlying assumption of this book that measurement of development (wellbeing) must be multi-dimensional and allot equal value to non-economic and economic aspects of “progress”. The authors posit a fresh critical thesis by arguing that education is a necessary but insufficient indicator of wellbeing, in the absence of empowerment”.
