2. A country’s overall human development indicators
can conceal the fact that its different parts can have
very different levels of human development. By studying the
resource, agriculture, industry, international trade, population,
consumption, distribution and structure, adaptation and
development of science and technology and many other
aspects, it can be seen that all the countries of the world are not
developed and similar in all aspects. This difference from region
to region is regional disparity. Analysing human development by
region can provide a useful tool to target development
programmes and public expenditure to areas where they are
most needed. This approach helps governments to focus on
regional equity when planning for development.
