Who is credited with developing the capability approach ?

  • A.Amartya Sen
  • B.Mahbub-ul-Haq
  • C.Srinivas Melkote
  • D.R.A. Mashelkar

Answer: A

The capability approach was developed by Amartya Sen.

Sen argued, from the 1980s, that development should be judged by people's capabilities, their real freedom to be and do what they value, such as being healthy, educated and able to take part in community life, rather than by income alone. Martha Nussbaum later extended the approach.

Mahbub ul Haq built on Sen's ideas to create the Human Development Index (1990). Srinivas Melkote is a scholar of development communication, and R.A. Mashelkar a chemical scientist.
