Definition(s)

  • WHILE PER CAPITA INCOME is the most commonly used and most widely accepted measure of a country's economic achievement, it has long been recognized that composite measures of economic progress might better reflect a country's true level of development. Composite measures combine a variety of quality-of-life variables into a single statistic. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Human Poverty Index]
