Question

Why is the total income of a country not taken as a criteria to measure development of a country?

Answer 1

Heya....

Total income of a country can't be taken as a criteria to measure development of a country because...

*** It doesn't show what the actual composition of income is....

*** May be possible that only primary sector is contributing in income but it is not the sign of growth...

** Per capita income doesn't show by total income....

Answer 2

★✩ ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ..

$\color{red}{Total Income}$ is not used to make comparison between the countries because different countries have $\underline\color{blue}{different \:populations.}$ Comparing with Total Income will not tell us what an average person is likely to earn.
