A limitation of using gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure for development is that **it doesn’t account for income distribution**. GDP provides an aggregate measure of economic activity but does not reflect how wealth is distributed among the population. Consequently, high GDP values can coexist with significant income inequality, masking potential disparities in individual well-being and quality of life.
