Beyond GDP

JDP stands for Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is a measure of the economic performance of a country.

GDP does not account for income distribution, environmental sustainability, and non-monetary contributions to well-being, which are important aspects of development.

Alternative measures of development include the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross National Happiness (GNH), and the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), which take into account broader indicators of well-being and sustainability.
