Which one of the following is not a pillar of human development?

The correct answer is Option (4) → Capitalism

Just as a building stands on pillars, human development rests on four ideas: equity, sustainability, productivity and empowerment.

Option (1) Equity — A pillar of human development. Equity means equal access to opportunities for everybody, whatever their gender, race, income or caste.

Option (2) Sustainability — A pillar of human development. Sustainability means continuity in the availability of opportunities, so that every generation has the same opportunities.

Option (3) Productivity — A pillar of human development. Productivity here means human labour productivity, which grows when people gain knowledge and better health.

Option (4) Capitalism — Not a pillar of human development. Capitalism is an economic system, not one of the pillars.
