10. ADVANTAGES OF GDP
 The gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the primary
indicators used to gauge the health of a country's
economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods
and services produced over a specific time period; you
can think of it as the size of the economy.
ADVANTAGES OF GNH
GNH balances material and non-
material values with the conviction
that humans want to search for
happiness

11. ADVANTAGES OF GNH OVER GDP
 GDP has failed to measure on whether it has
benefited the nation or not as its only focus has
been on the on economy.
 Measurment of GDP isn’t accurate as there is fear
that statistic errors along with pollution factors
aren’t being included, which would affect the overall
performance.
 GDP also fails to measure things like quality
improvement, this is due to the fact GDP can only
measure the price as value, but not the quality of
goods being produced.

12. ADVANTAGES OF GNH OVER GDP
 GDP fails to measure more delecate forms of
wealth, which are maybe more important to the
average persons well being.
‘BUT’
In contrast, GNH has become a
more complete indicator as it
draws upon a broader set of
social, environmental and health
measurement

13. ADVANTAGES OF GNH OVER GDP
GNH aims to evaluate sustainability, wellbeing and
quality of life.

17. CONCLUSION
It is concluded that GDP value shows only the
materialistic development of a nation, but GNH
shows the whole sustainable development of
the nation.
A country can achieve highest GDP with in a
limited period by more investment in production
of goods and services. But it cannot achieve a
good and healthy GNH in short period of time.
And one more thing is GNH value is not
calculated in terms of dollar. It is calculated
form the individual happiness.
