What you'll learn
- 1
Development means improvement in quality of life. Measuring it by wealth alone is misleading.
- 2
GDP per capita is an average, so it hides inequality: a country with a small very rich group can look richer than one where most people are comfortable.
- 3
Why can GDP per capita be misleading?
- 4
Which three things does HDI combine?
- 5
Apply it: GNI per head is an economic measure only. The Human Development Index combines income, life expectancy and years of schooling, so it shows quality of life more fairly.
- 6
Why is HDI often preferred to GNI per head?
- 7
Why can a high average income still hide poverty?
