Question 7

An international NGO is analyzing global inequality and uneven development between two nations:

  • Nation A: Rich in natural resources, leading to a very high Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, but suffers from severe underinvestment in social infrastructure, resulting in low mean years of schooling and a low life expectancy.
  • Nation B: Has a moderate GNI per capita, but boasts universal healthcare, high literacy rates, and strong public services.

Explain how using a composite indicator, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), provides a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of uneven development between these two nations compared to relying solely on a single economic indicator like GNI per capita.
