Understanding Development Indicators: Economic and Social Metrics for Progress

Today, we will explore three groups of development indicators that reveal a country’s progress. Economic indicators include GDP and income per capita, displaying financial resources available for development. Social indicators such as life expectancy and literacy rate reflect the quality of healthcare and education. Composite indicators like the Human Development Index (HDI) combine various metrics to assess overall development. Understanding these indicators enables us to evaluate how effectively nations can improve the quality of life for their citizens.
