Abstract

This study explores the reflection of recorded economic growth on human development in Ethiopia. The principal puzzle the study unravels is if there is a positive co-variance between per capita income levels and achievements made in life expectancy, educational attainments and reduction in the levels of income poverty in the past decade. To put Ethiopia in a comparative perspective we have attempted to contrast Ethiopia with some of the Eastern African countries. The results of this exercise show that economic growth made in Ethiopia has contributed to human development. Income, life expectancy and school attainments move together; however, life expectancy progresses faster than educational attainments.
