GNI, Development, and Life Expectancy

The video tutorial discusses how development is measured across countries, focusing on economic and social indicators. It begins with economic measures like Gross National Income (GNI) and GNI per capita, highlighting their limitations. The Human Development Index (HDI) is introduced as a more comprehensive measure, incorporating life expectancy, education, and income. The video compares countries like Norway and Niger using HDI, illustrating disparities in quality of life. It concludes by addressing the consequences of uneven development globally.
