This report is based on a master set of data that has been compiled by an Inter-Agency and Expert
Group on MDG Indicators led by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United
Nations Secretariat, in response to the wishes of the General Assembly for periodic assessment of
progress towards the MDGs. The Group comprises representatives of the international
organizations whose activities include the preparation of one or more of the series of statistical indicators that were identified as appropriate for monitoring progress towards the MDGs, as reflected in the list below. A number of national statisticians and outside expert advisers also contributed.

Growth is usually calculated in real terms – i.e., inflation-adjusted terms – to eliminate the warp effect of inflation on the price of goods produced. Measurement of economic growth uses national income accounting. Since economic growth is measured as the annual percent change of gross domestic product (GDP), it has all the advantages and drawbacks of that measure

This short presentation is meant to inform the general public of the challenges of global development. It starts by defining key concepts such as what is meant by a country's development level, the necessary conditions for sustainable development, how to compare the levels of development through the GDP/GNP, and why is the population growing despite a decreasing birth rate. Finally, recommendations are made in terms of how to finance the post-2015 development agenda. These are the result of the international development conference held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in July 2015. This digital artefact is available through the following link:

Economic Development Indicators, indices and HDIShahzaib Khan
Studying development is about measuring how developed one country is compared to other countries, or to the same country in the past. Development measures how economically, politically, socially, culturally or technologically advanced a country is. There are a few indices and economic development indicators to measure development.

a/ What is the economic growth ?
b/ How to measure the economic growth ?
c/ A strong growth means a higher standard of living
d/ Problem : the GDP does not take in account the quality of life enough, so the HDI is needed

Economic Growth may be defined as rate of expansion over a short period.
Economic growth is a single dimensional quantitative concept which is concerned only with the rate of increase in national income.
2. ๏ The increase of national wealth improves quality of life?
✓ Even if the indicators of the national wealth can show development,
though they don’t provide proper info about the allocation of: Free
health, education services, employability, κ.ο.κ. (QoL)
๏ Does the increase of national wealth contributes to human
development?
✓ Human Development Report 1996, published by the United Nations
Development Program, “human development is the end—economic
growth a means.”
What is development?
3. What is development?
๏ Historically speaking: Economic growth hasn’t lead to human
development (unemployment, weakened democracy,
overconsumption of natural resources)
๏ if environmental and social/human losses resulting from economic growth
turn out to be higher than economic benefits (additional incomes earned by
the majority of the population), the overall result for people’s wellbeing
becomes negative.
๏ According to the Human Development Report 1996, “during 1960–1992 not
a single country succeeded in moving from lopsided development with slow
human development and rapid growth to a virtuous circle in which human
development and growth can become mutually reinforcing.”
4. Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development is a new term:
Classical definition given by the United Nations World Commission
on Environment and Development in 1987 development is
sustainable if it “meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.”
Balancing those three diverse objectives = challenge for every
country:
Economic
Environmental
Social
5. International cooperation is necessary for sustainable development.
War and poverty are obstacles!
Sustainable Development
6. Comparing Levels of Development
Past: Countries are unequally endowed with natural
resources
Present: Α wealth of natural resources is not the most
important determinant of development success
Conclusion main indicator of the level of economic
development: productivity
physical capital, human capital, and natural capital
7. Calculation of productivity
Gross domestic product (GDP): the total final output of all
goods and services produced in a single year within a
country’s boundaries
Gross national product (GNP): GDP +incomes received by
residents from abroad
1. GDP ή GNP = wages plus interest plus profits plus rents.
2. GDP ή GNP = consumption plus investment plus
government purchases of goods and services, and net
exports (exports minus imports).
8. Per capita income
𝐆𝐍𝐏/𝐆𝐃𝐏
𝒄𝒐𝒚𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚′ 𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
= per capita GNP/GDP
Disadvantages GNP and GDP per capita: They do not
show:
pollution, environmental degradation, and resource
depletion
unpaid work
the distribution of income and incidence of poverty
9. Purchasing power parity (PPP)
Number of units of a country’s currency required to buy the same
amount of goods and services in the domestic market as one dollar
would buy in the United States
nominal GNP per capita
Real GNP per capita : an indicator adjusted for the difference in prices for the
same goods and services between a country and the United States
Developing countries:
Real > Nominal GNP per capita
≠ Developed
10. Grouping Countries by Their Level of Development
Different criteria to group countries by their level of
development
o Most popular:
• Developed
• Developing
o The World Bank: GNP per capita (α) low-
income, (β) middle- income, (γ) upper-middle-income,
(δ) high-income,
11. Grouping Countries by Their Level of Development
The relatively accurate classification of countries into
“developing” and “developed” based on their per capita
income does not, however, work well in all cases:
- Israel, Kuwait, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.:
These countries are considered developing because of
their economic structure or because of the official opinion
of their governments, although their incomes formally
place them among developed countries
12.
13. GDP Growth
• 1965-1999 the average annual growth rate was 4.1 percent in low-
income countries.
• Will the poor countries reach the rich one? No, the gulf between the
average GNP per capita in developing and developed countries
continues to widen, because of the population growth.
14.
15. Predictions
Only 10 of the
developing countries
will reach in the next
100 years the
developed countries.
The poorer a country
is, the harder it is to
maintain the high
volume of investment
Such economic
growth can be socially
unsustainable–leading
to social stress and
conflict, detrimental to
further growth
