Abstract
:
Would Muslim countries' interest in satisfying the basic needs of their citizens have a negative impact on income level, as asserted by critics of Basic Needs approach? This paper addresses the question empirically by selecting a sample of 19 Muslim countries and taking for the years 1970-1990 a set of social indicators related to fulfillment of basic needs, including life expectancy at birth, infant mortality and primary education. Included also are some economic indicators such as investment to income ratio and the volume of external trade. Several models were used, including single country time-series and pooled regressions. The overall conclusion of our econometric analysis is that fulfillment of basic needs has no clear negative impact on per capita income level. The best variables explaining that level were infant mortality and primary education ( among the social variables) and investment ( among the economic variables). These conclusions underscore the contention of no conflict between rapid economic growth and need fulfillment, and support an earlier conclusion by Dr. AL-Habeeb for Pakistan and Morocco.
