How can an economic development be measured?
The UN has developed an extensively accepted set of indices to measure development in opposition to a mix of composite (element or compound) indicators:
• Human Development Index (HDI): It measures a country is average achievements into three fundamental dimensions of human development: educational attainment, life expectancy and adjusted real income (PPP$ per person).
• Human Poverty Index (HPI): It measures deprivation into fundamental human development by using % of people expected to die before age forty, percent of illiterate adult %, of people without access to health services as well as safe water and the percent of underweight children in five like indicators.
• Development diamonds demonstrate four key indicators into a country compared along with its income-group average that is access to safe water, gross primary enrolment, GNP per capita and average life expectancy for 2015.
