Development Test - 3

National income is the yardstick of measuring the growth performance of any economy.

Since the average income is equal to ₹40, 000. Therefore total income of four families = ₹40,000 ×× 4 = ₹1,60,000
Income of family D = ₹1,60,000 - ₹39,000 - ₹45,000 - ₹28,000 = ₹48,000

Countries with annual per capita income of 12236 dollars and above in 2016 are called rich countries. The rich countries, excluding countries of Middle east and other small countries, are generally called the developed countries. On the otherhand those with per capita income of 1005 dollars or less are called low income countries.

Development goals that people have are not only about better income but also about other important things in life. Income criteria takes into account only the economic aspect of life and ignores the social, aspect of life.
