4 Measures of Development
Top 10 list

5 Financial Measures

6 Financial Measures GDP (per capita) GNI (per capita)

7 GDP Thailand $345,672,232,116 29th United Arab Emirates Denmark
$360,245,074,960 28th Denmark $333,616,014,898 30th

8 GDP Per Capita Thailand $4,972 91st United Arab Emirates Denmark
$45,663 19th Denmark $59,852 8th

9 Financial Measures GDP vs. GNI

10 Country GDP per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI-GDP (% of GDP) USA 46350 UK 43541 France 44508 Botswana 6982 Cameroon 1226 India 1017 Indonesia 2246 Vietnam 1051

11 Country GDP per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI-GDP (% of GDP) USA 46350 47930 UK 43541 46040 France 44508 42000 Botswana 6982 6640 Cameroon 1226 1150 India 1017 1040 Indonesia 2246 1880 Vietnam 1051 890

12 Country GDP per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI per capita (current US$) 2008 GNI-GDP (% of GDP) USA 46350 47930 3.4 UK 43541 46040 5.7 France 44508 42000 -5.6 Botswana 6982 6640 -4.9 Cameroon 1226 1150 -6.2 India 1017 1040 2.3 Indonesia 2246 1880 -16.3 Vietnam 1051 890 -15.3

13 Purchasing Power of Parity (PPP)

14 GDP per capita and GNI per capita (2009)
Country GNI per Capita ($) GDP per Capita ($) Japan 37670 34313 Switzerland 59880 56207 United States 46040 45592 Colombia 3250 4724 China 2360 2432 India 950 1046

15 GDP per capita and GNI per capita (2009)
Looking at GDP per Capita across countries is misleading Each country has different prices and different purchasing power What we need to do is change these numbers to take this difference into account

16 Purchasing Power of Parity (PPP)
Purchasing Power of Parity (PPP) – gets rid of the differences in prices across countries Country GDP per Capita ($) GDP per Capita PPP ($) Japan 34313 33632 Switzerland 56207 40658 United States 45592 Colombia 4724 7764 China 2432 5383 India 1046 2753

17 Health Measures

18 Health Measures Life expectancy at birth Infant mortality rate

19 Education Measures

20 Education Measures Adult literacy Enrolment in primary education

21 Human Development Index (HDI)

22 Composite indicators To measure development (quality of life), many things are put together When many things are put together into one measurement, we call this a composite indicator

23 Human Development Index (HDI)
Best-known and most widely used measurement of economic development Measures three things: Life expectancy (years expected at birth) Schooling (mean and expected years or schooling) Standard of living (GNI per capita PPP US$) Each of these is given a value between 0 and 1 and then averaged.

24 Human Development Index (HDI)
Category HDI Values Number of countries % of World’s Poplation Very high human development HDI > 0.9 49 30% High human development 0.9 > HDI > 0.8 53 Medium human development 0.8 > HDI > 0.5 42 51% Low human development 0.5 > HDI 43 19%

25 Practice Sri Lanka has a higher HDI than Thailand even though Thailand has a much higher GNI per capita (PPP). Why is this?
