Question

What criteriation are used by world development report?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

=>>The world development report 2012, brought out by the World Bank has given the following criterion in classifying countries-

Rich or High Income countries-
Countries with the per capita income of US $1216
per annum and above in 2012 , called rich countries.

Poor or Low income countries-
The countries with the per capita income of US $1035
or less , are called low income countries.

India comes in the category of low middle income countries because it's per capita income in 2012 was just US $1530 per annum. The rich countries, excluding countries of middle east and other small countries, are generally called the development countries.

Limitations -

1) It covers only the economic aspect ignoring peace , health and environment, education, longevity etc.

2) This method does not give information regarding the distribution of income.
