SOCIAL PROGRESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SOCIAL PROGRESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTKey Findings: •There exists a positive and strong relationship between GDP per capita and Social Progress Index.
•The relationship between social progress and GDP (economic development) is not linear.
•Third, despite the correlation among GDP per capita and social progress index, considerable amount of variability in social progress is observed among states with comparable levels of GDP per capita. Economic development alone is not sufficient to explain social progress outcomes.
Notes1. Per capita income is the latest data available on the Press Information Bureau, Government of India for all the states. 2. Size of the bubble represents population of the state.
Social Progress Index and GDP: Dimension Level Relationship
Dimensions of Social Progress and Economic Development• The model predicts that GDP per capita explains 49%, 45% and 15% of the variation in Basic Human Needs, Foundations of Wellbeing and Opportunity scores respectively.
• Theoretically also we expect Basic Human Needs to have the highest correlation with economic growth. At low levels of income, a small improvement in GDP per capita can make resources available for states to invest in basic needs of survival such as housing, safety etc.
• But findings also suggest that the ability of a state to utilize the resources can have a huge impact on the availability of basic needs. For example, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh both are low income states but Madhya Pradesh has been able to provide its citizens with basic needs in a better way.

Mild correlation exists between social progress and state competitiveness.
