How do the genuine progress indicator (gpi) and the human development index (hdi) differ from gdp as measures of development?

The GDP is a measure of development which is strictly focused on the economy of a country, its nominal GDP and the GDP per capita. While this can be a nice indicator in most cases for the development of a country, in some cases it can also be very misleading.

The GPI and HDI have to be taken in consideration as measures for development, as combined with the GDP they can provide a much clearer picture for a country and its citizens. The GPI and HDI are showing the index of the human rights, the independence are rightness of the law institutions, the infrastructure of a country, and they are pretty accurate measures by which a country can be judged at what degree of development it is.

Question that i am answering:

How do the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) and the Human Development Index (HDI) differ from GDP as measures of development?

The proper response:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

The GPI is an alternative to measuring development beyond just the economic focus of GDP. The GPI considers social and sustainability factors along with GDP data. Social and sustainability factors include lifestyle concerns, like the ratio of work to leisure time; human needs, like education and a secure environment; income distribution, like poverty and affluence; and environmental needs, like clean water, pollution, and sanitation.The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to distinguish whether a country is developed, developing, or underdeveloped, and to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. While a country may excel in GDP, its development ranking according to one of these indicators may rise or fall depending on the quality of life it provides its people

developed countries have tended to improve the environment, while developing countries have tended to damage it.
