Key Points

  • Economic development is the process of change over a long period of time.
  • Economic development can involve a stronger economy enabling a greater range of social services that improve a nation's welfare.
  • The most commonly used measures of economic development are:
    • Gross Domestic Product
    • Incidence of poverty
    • Green Index
    • Life status
    • Literacy rate
    • Average life expectancy

 Thus, we can say that geographical conditions are not a measure of economic development.
