Q4. What is the main criterion used by the World Bank in classifying different countries? What are the limitations of this criterion, if any?
Answer:
In the World Development Report, 2006, the World Bank has used the criterion of average income or per capita income in classifying different countries.
The average income or the per capita income is the total income of the country divided by its population.
According to the WDR 2006, countries are classified as mentioned below :
Rich countries : Countries with per capital income of? 4,53,000 per annum and above in 2004 are called rich countries
Low-income countries : Countries with per capital income of? 37,000 or less are called low-income countries.
India comes in the category of low-income countries because its per capital income in 2004 was just ? 28,000 per annum.
Rich countries, excluding countries of Middle East and certain other small countries are generally called developed countries.
Limitations of the criterion are as mentioned below :
It does not tell us how this income is distributed among people. A country may have more equitable distribution. People may be neither very rich nor extremely poor.
In another country with same average income, one person may be extremely rich while others may be very poor. So, the method of average income does not give correct picture of a country. This system hides disparities among people.
