which of the following is a limitation of using gross domestic product (GDP) to measure economic development?

Question

a it overemphasizes population
b it exaggerates the role of health
c it overlooks economic growth
d it ignores distribution of wealth

Answer 1

d it ignores distribution of wealth

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total economic output of a country but does not account for how that wealth is distributed among the population. This means it can present a misleading picture of economic development, as a high GDP could coexist with significant income inequality.
