Question

Differentiate between undp report and world bank report. why is udp more reliable of the two

Answer 1

The report by the World Bank compares countries based solely on per capita income while the report by the UNDP compares countries based on a host of other factors like per capita income, health status of people, and literacy levels of people. The UNDP report is more valuable as the per capita income is not fully reliable as although it shows the average income of the people in a particular country, it hides disparities. Therefore, it is essential to consider other factors too along with per capita income for comparing countries.

Answer 2

The world Bank report compares countries based on per capita income.Countries having income less than $ 1035 are regarded as least developed countries

The UNDP compares countries based on per capita income, health status, literacy rate ,etc of countries.


The comparison made by World bank is not reliable because it hides the disparities and doesn't reveal the rich - poor status .
But UNDP does by taking many criteria,hence it is reliable.
