Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The World Bank classifies countries by income. It uses GDP and per capita income as the measure of development.

    1 mark

  2. UNDP uses the Human Development Index (HDI), which combines people's educational levels, health status and per capita income. It therefore gives a wider view of development than income alone.

    1 mark

Answer: World Bank: income-based (GDP, per capita income). UNDP: Human Development Index (education, health, income).

Where the marks are

  • World Bank criterion: GDP and per capita income (1 mark)
  • UNDP criterion: HDI of education, health and income (1 mark)
