Answers
Answer:
Three different basis of comparing economic development of different nations are:
a. Income of countries- This indeed is considered as important factor of drawing comparisons between countries. It is the average income or per capita income which is taken into consideration while making comparisons. World bank has specified the criterion for categorising countries into developed, developing and underdeveloped countries..
b . Literacy rate- The above aspect only deals with quantitative aspect. Therefore, apart from income criteria there are other criteria identified under Human development index by UNDP. This would include the literacy rate which is the proportion of the population over age fifteen that can read and write. It gives us a more holistic approach and understanding of the concept of development as it includes those areas which are required to lead a quality life. It would also cover enrolment of children to schools at the primary, secondary and at the higher levels.
c. Life expectancy rate- . Average Life expectancy rate is also taken into consideration, which reveals the overall heath and nutritional standards of the country.
Infant mortality rate is also taken into consideration which gives the number of children that die before the age of one year as a proportion of 1000 live children born in that particular year.
d. The above criteria draws comparisons and rank countries that is - the literacy rate ,life expectancy rate, infant mortality rate to determine the development status of a particular region or a country.All the above aspects of human development could be regarded important to provide a complete picture of development and to lead a quality, dignified life.
e. Accordingly, HDI specifies maximum and minimum value between 0 to 1 and therefore accordingly a country can be judged with regard to its human development
