Human development may refer to:

• Human development (biology)
• "Human development (psychology)" or developmental psychology
  • Occasionally, it may refer to both of the above two meanings, but because each of these is an immense field of study, few if any contemporary academic discussions attempt to tackle both in a comprehensive way. More typically, psychologists will take account of biological factors in their psychological analysis, and vice versa for biologists.
  • Human Development is also an area of study more specifically in educational psychology. One of the pioneers in defining the stages of human development was Robert J. Havighurst. His major contribution was defining the developmental tasks for the six basic age groups.

• Development as in international development or sustainable development
  • The Human Development Index is a comparative measure of the well-being of people in various world nations.
