Strategies towards Development in the UAE FWS205 2021 Developed vs Under Developed Country Create two Personas with the partner sitting next to you: A- Ahmed who comes from a developed country B- Shehab who comes from an under developed country Human Development Index (HDI) The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. Is HDI the best index for measuring Development? - YouTube HDI: The Human Development Index is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. GDP: Gross Domestic Product is the final value of the goods and services produced within the geographic boundaries of a country during a specified period of time, normally a year. GDP growth rate is an important indicator of the economic performance of a country. GNP: Gross National Product is the total value of all finished goods and services produced by a country's citizens in a given financial year, irrespective of their location. GNP also measures the output generated by a country's businesses located domestically or abroad. GNI: Gross National Income is the total amount of money earned by a nation's people and businesses. It is used to measure and track a nation's wealth from year to year. The number includes the nation's gross domestic product plus the income it receives from overseas sources. PQLI: The Physical Quality of Life Index was one of the earliest attempts to measure national and international well-being using noneconomic social indicators. GNH: Gross national happiness is a measure of economic and moral progress that the king of the Himalayan country of Bhutan introduced in the 1970s as an alternative to gross domestic product.
