What is a developing country? How does one know whether a country
is actually developing or not? This report looks at this issue from
several perspectives. Using a series of reports by various
organizations, it shows how countries rank in their levels of
development according to different criteria. Countries ranking high
according to one measure may rank lower according to another. It
was once commonly believed that raising a country's average per
capita income level would lead to improvements in most other areas.
Time and experience have shown, however, that social conditions and
the general well-being of people may not necessarily improve when a
country's average income level increases. Countries with relatively
high levels of per capita income may rank lower in their social and
structural development. By contrast, some poor countries rank with
the advanced countries in their governance and levels of individual
and economic freedom.
