GDP basics and limitations explained.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is defined as the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It serves as a standard metric in evaluating economic welfare and growth, although it has limitations in providing a comprehensive view of well-being.
GDP includes some economic activities that can be considered negative, such as environmental degradation. However, it does not capture all economic activities, like household production, leading to gaps in its measurement.
Measuring standards of living is usually better done through GDP per capita which accounts for the population size, providing a more accurate representation of individual economic well-being compared to just GDP.
