Question

Explain brifly the difference between development by the undp and the world bank

Answer 1

The World Bank uses the Per capita Income as a method to measure the development of a country. 

Answer 2

Answer: Criterion used by world bank to measure development is on the basis of income, countries which have higher per capita income are considered as rich countries and countries having lower per capita income are poor countries.

Criterion used by UNDP for measuring development is by following the process of estimating HDI with simple average indices like longevity i.e. health knowledge, education and per capita income. it does not rely only on per capita income as in case of world bank. According to human development report education and health are also indicators of development beside food, clothing and shelter.
