Yeah, that is a very good question. And it is a dynamic answer.
I took this from the UN Human Development Web Site. I am very bad at explaining this, tending to use more political terms than I should; which doesn't do the justice the concept deserves.

(COMMENT)Developed how?gt1085, et al,
Well, as countries develop in a positive direction, they will also evolve in a positive direction.
(COMMENT)Well i see a mixed race we know this but the original is`nt diverse as you see today.
Morocco show signs of Human Development significantly greater than most of Africa. And humanity tends to gravitate towards regions of greater development.

These ideas helped pave the way for the human development approach, which is about expanding the richness of human life, rather than simply the richness of the economy in which human beings live. It is an approach that is focused on creating fair opportunities and choices for all people. So how do these ideas come together in the human development approach?
- People: the human development approach focuses on improving the lives people lead rather than assuming that economic growth will lead, automatically, to greater opportunities for all. Income growth is an important means to development, rather than an end in itself.
- Opportunities: human development is about giving people more freedom and opportunities to live lives they value. In effect this means developing people’s abilities and giving them a chance to use them. For example, educating a girl would build her skills, but it is of little use if she is denied access to jobs, or does not have the skills for the local labour market. The diagram below looks at aspects of human development that are foundational (that is they are a fundamental part of human development); and aspects that are more contextual (that is they help to create the conditions that allow people to flourish). Three foundations for human development are to live a healthy and creative life, to be knowledgeable, and to have access to resources needed for a decent standard of living. Many other aspects are important too, especially in helping to create the right conditions for human development, such as environmental sustainability or equality between men and women.

Once the basics of human development are achieved, they open up opportunities for progress in other aspects of life.
- Choices: human development is, fundamentally, about more choice. It is about providing people with opportunities, not insisting that they make use of them. No one can guarantee human happiness, and the choices people make are their own concern. The process of development – human development - should at least create an environment for people, individually and collectively, to develop to their full potential and to have a reasonable chance of leading productive and creative lives that they value.
