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. Yes. Development is more than income, health and education; a complete measure must also consider liberty indicators along with socio-economic parameters.

    1 mark

  2. Liberty indicators measure democratic participation in social and political decision-making: civil liberties, political rights and economic freedom (for example, the extent of constitutional protection of rights, independence of the judiciary and rule of law).

    1 mark

  3. Including them gives policymakers a more holistic picture of an economy's development status.

    1 mark

Answer: Agree: liberty indicators (civil liberties, political rights, economic freedom) give a fuller picture of development than socio-economic data alone.
