Abstract
Since the early 1990s, the concept of human development has occupied a prominent position in evaluating development experiences across Third World countries. This significance arises from its emphasis on human capital and the extent to which individuals benefit from economic development processes. Given the profound impact of demographic trends on economic development, this research seeks to establish a correlation between the concept of human development and its most influential variable: population. Due to the critical nature of this subject, the study focuses on the ESCWA region—a key geographical classification under the United Nations. The research aims to monitor the policies adopted in these countries and the accompanying developments regarding population growth, including both quantitative and qualitative shifts. Furthermore, it examines the economic burdens and debt levels that may adversely affect the development trajectory, thereby hindering the progress of human development and its various indicators within the ESCWA region.
