Development economics is a branch of economics which deals with economic aspects of the development process in low-income countries. Its focus is not only on methods of promoting economic growth and structural change but also on improving the potential for the mass of the population, for example, through health and education and workplace conditions, whether through public or private channels. Thus, development economics involves the creation of theories and methods that aid in the determination of types of policies and practices and can be implemented at either the domestic or international level. This may involve restructuring market incentives or using mathematical methods like inter-temporal optimization for project analysis, or it may involve a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. Unlike in many other fields of economics, approaches in development economics may incorporate social and political factors to devise particular plans. Different approaches may consider the factors that contribute to economic convergence or non-convergence across households, regions, and countries.

A. It would be more helpful to decide exactly what career you would like to pursue and find out which major would best help you secure such a job. princetonreview.com provides a comprehensive list of possible careers and career profiles for many different majors, including salaries for each. i don't think you will find much variance in salary depending on which major you choose, but rather on the level of degree you have attained. in other words, find out exactly what career you want, which major is best suited to it, and get your PhD in that field... that way you will maximize the salary for a job that you actually want
