This document discusses the basic needs approach to development. It notes that the basic needs approach, as proposed by economist Paul Streeten, focuses on meeting people's essential needs for food, water, shelter, education, security and livelihood rather than solely relying on indicators like GNP. The major features of the basic needs approach are ensuring adequacy of food, water, shelter, education, security, livelihood, transport, participation in decision making, and upholding individual dignity. The document also mentions that the Physical Quality of Life Index is used to measure progress under the basic needs approach by assessing factors such as life expectancy, infant mortality, and literacy.
