Hlo friend!!

Development can mean different things to different people but, it mainly means the process of developing or being developed.

The indicators used by UNDP are:-

-Average income

-Literacy rate

-Infant mortality rate

-Education

-Health

-life expectancy rate

-HDI rank.

In the other hand, World Bank only uses

-average income or per capita income

-rich country (per capita income RS 453000 and above in 2004)

-poor country (per capita income RS 37000 or less in 2004)
