The Global Human Development Report 2015 asks a fundamental question – how can work enhance human development.  The Report takes a broad of work, going beyond jobs and taking into account such activities as unpaid care work, voluntary work and creative work and argues that work can be a means to enhance human development by contributing to the public good, reducing inequality, securing livelihoods and empowering individuals. It recommends policies to harness human potential and achieve equitable and sustainable progress, and also presents the latest findings on India’s progress on the Human Development Indicators. 

वैश्विक मानव विकास रिपोर्ट 2015 एक मौलिक सवाल पूछता है – कार्य कैसे मानव विकास को बढ़ा सकता है। रिपोर्ट, कार्य का एक व्यापक दृष्टिकोण लेता है जो नौकरियों से परे है और अवैतनिक देखभाल का कार्य, स्वैच्छिक कार्य और रचनात्मक कार्य के रूप में आते हैं। इस तरह की गतिविधियों को ध्यान में रखकर, कार्य सार्वजनिक अच्छा करने के लिए, असमानता को कम करने के लिए, मानव विकास को बढ़ाने के लिए, आजीविका हासिल करने और सशक्त बनाने के लिए एक साधन हो सकता है। इस रिपोर्ट ने मानव क्षमता के दोहन और न्यायसंगत और सतत प्रगति हासिल करने के लिए नीतियों की सिफारिश की है, और मानव विकास सूचकांक में भारत की प्रगति पर नवीनतम निष्कर्ष प्रस्तुत किऎ हैं।
