It is important to study development disparities among regions because it may create a severe type of rivalry and distrust among the different regions. People are the means and also the end of all development activities. It is observed that human development disparities exist across the regions of Punjab. Present study investigates some important socio-economic determinants of human development disparities across the districts of Punjab. For this purpose thirty-five districts of Punjab are considered, one district, Chiniot is excluded because of some data limitations. We have used Human Development Index (HDI) and Non-Income Human Development Index (NIHDI) as dependent variables. Social infrastructure, remittances, industrialization and population density have been taken as determinants of HDI and NIHDI. The results of our study indicate that all four variables show a positive and significant relationship with HDI. Out of four variables, three variables excluding population density show positive and significant relationship with NIHDI. Population density has insignificant association with NIHDI. So, the districts with poor human development especially the districts in Western and Southern regions of Punjab are identified as target for special policy interventions to improve human development.
