Abstract:
This paper assesses economic and human development in China and India using the United Nations set of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as the framework for analyzing the relative performance of the two countries. The MDG framework was used by Rausch & Kostyshak (2009) to assess the development of Arab countries in the Middle East and Africa, and by Forster (2010) to examine development in Sub-Saharan Africa. In summary, the paper shows that China has been more successful in improving its positions relative to the set of MDGs than has India. China also leads several comparator groups while India lags them.
