Tables and Charts on Poverty and Development

Poverty and Development


 

Economic Growth

These tables and charts contain statistics on economic growth, measured as the percent increase in real gross domestic product (GDP). Real GDP includes all currently produced goods and services sold on the market. But this measure ignores regional variations in income and spending, household services and volunteer activities. Despite its weaknesses as a measure of development and human well-being, the GDP remains the most common indicator of economic output.
