Question. How did World Bank classify countries? What criterion did they use? What are its limitations?
Answer-
▪ The World Bank classified countries in to High Income countries, Medium Income countries and Low-Income countries.
▪ Countries with per capita income of US$ 12,056 per annum and above in 2017, are called rich countries.
▪ India comes in the category of low middle income countries because its per capita income in 2017 was just US$ 1820 per annum.
▪ Those with per capita income of US$ 955 or less are called low-income countries.
▪ They used per capita income as the criterion to classify countries.
▪ Limitations of this criterion are the following:
➢ Per capita income alone can’t bring development.
➢ Even though per capita income of many countries is very high, it is noticed that the standard of living of the people remained low.

Question. Give three examples where an average income is used for comparing situations.
Or Why do we use average income? What are the limitations to their use?
Answer-
▪ The per capita income or the average income is used to compare economic development of countries.
▪ We use averages to identify and analyse performance level in different areas.
▪ It is used to compare different situations and to find out the strong and weak points.
▪ We use averages to make calculations easier and averages reveal general performance level.
▪ There are limitations to their use.
▪ Averages will not represent the actual performance.
▪ When we take the average of similar performance or similar amount, it is meaningful.
▪ However, when we calculate two extremes or a number of very low performances and a very high performance, the average will not tell the exact situation.

Question. Why do you think average income is an important criterion for development? Explain.
Answer-
▪ Average income represents the total income of a country keeping in view of the total population.
▪ If the average income is adequate to meet the basic requirement and other facilities that country is considered developed.

▪ Whatever people like and should have, they will be able to get with greater income.

Answer-
▪ The per capita income of Haryana and Kerala is Rs. 1,80,174 and Rs. 1,63,475 by the year 2018–19.
▪ Though the per capita income of Haryana was much higher than Kerala.
▪ But their infant mortality rate is 30 and it is higher than 10 in Kerala and literacy rate is 82 % in Haryana and 94 % in Kerala.Money cannot buy all the goods and services that we need to live well. It cannot buy a pollution free environment or ensure that we get unadulterated medicine.

 

12 Define the following Terms
1. Literacy rate
2. Infant Mortality Ratio
3. Public Distribution System
4. Life expectancy at birth.
(For answer refer to TB: Pg: 10, 12 & 13) (Answers should be based on 2017- 2018 text book)

13 What is Public Distribution System? 

14 Mention two main components of ‘Human Development Index’. 

15 Name the neighbouring country of India which had higher Human Development Index for 2004 than India. 

16 Why has Kerala a higher Human Development Index than Mahrashtra, inspite of low per capita income?

State Per Capita Income for 2012–13 (in Rs)

Maharashtra- 1,07,670
