Me ish O Level Geography Student.
GDP refers to the sum of total value of the final goods and services produced in a country during a given period.
I agree to a certain extent that GDP per capita is useful as an indicator to the quality of life.
GDP per capita is derived from the sum total of all goods and services produced by a country divided by the total number to people in the country.
By doing so, it provides a common basis for comparison of all countries in the world.
When there is a high GDP per capita, it can mean that the citizen are able to afford food, shelter and education. Singapore, Canada and the USA are examples of countries that have a high GDP per capita, and the citizens generally enjoy a good quality of life.
However, a high GDP per capita does not automatically mean that the quality of life is good. This is because GDP per capita does not take into account the distribution of wealth. Not everyone in the country have access to the same amount of resources.
Saudi Arabia is an example of a country with a relatively high GDP per capita, but the wealth lies mainly with those involved in the extraction of the country's crude oil.
A good quality of life is concerned with more than economic well-being, as it also takes into account personal satisfaction of cultural and environment conditions.
If a higher GDP per capita is achieved at the expense of living conditions or the environment, eq. rapid deforestation due to an increase in demand for wood products, then the quality of life cannot be said to have improved.
GDP per capita does not take into account unpaid work such as homemaking, volunteer work and community service. These help to improve quality of life, but they are not reflected in the GDP per capita. Hence, GDP per capita does not reflect accurately the quality of life.
Extracted from 'O' Level The Essential Geography Elective Exam Practice (Exam Paper Answer 1) Q 5(b) -
The elites know my friend, they just don't care my friend. They don't care and they won't care unless they feel their interests are hurt. Unfortunately, by the time the elites feel the pinch, things are already quite bad because the elites always insulate themselves from the "discomforts" of the societies they create around them. Why do you think the elites build villas for themselves in some other countries or why they fund crazy ideas like colonizing the moon. Its to get away from the troubles of the masses that they feed off from. Its been like this from time immemorial, that's why from time to time there are revolutions and all the elites get massacred. Then the cycle starts all over again. Of course, smart elites know what's best for them and try to build a "just" society even though that's technically impossible, so that these sort of massacres don't occur too often. Of course, sincerity counts alot too these days.

surely the data collected by an agency involved solely in monitoring worldwide funds is more reliable than an agency which devotes most of it's time trying to find where osama's house is and tracking UFO sightings? the data from the site is definately losely estimated.Originally posted by mhcampboy:So what?
