CDI and GDP What is the difference

fresh Jude: In the past, we always put in understanding the development of a region simply equated with economic growth, which will lead to around the pure pursuit of GDP growth rate. Of course, this indicator does not mean that GDP, so far, it is best to measure an indicator of economic growth. Is now developed to the stage, with the GDP to measure, does have its limitations. For example, GDP does not accurately reflect the quality of economic growth. Because it reflects a period of time, the addition of the final products and services, it does not reflect the wealth of the past. The second is that it does not fully reflect the social costs of economic growth. For example, the use of natural resources and environmental damage and pollution. Third, it does not fully reflect a region or a country's level of social welfare, such as the income gap and so on.

but comprehensive development index (CDI) is a comprehensive evaluation from various aspects to the development of a region, it is more than GDP, not just one indicator, it is comprehensive. GDP is the inside of a comprehensive development index indicators, and weights it according to certain indicators into our system and come.

the people's livelihood in a prominent position

fresh Jude: national In accordance with this request, we integrated development index in the evaluation system inside, the people's livelihood in a more prominent position. Now the improvement of people's livelihood mainly through three aspects to reflect: First issue of income distribution, the second is quality of life issues and the third is employment. Each question has multiple indicators to reflect a total of 11 indicators. For example, to reflect the distribution of income, we use three indicators: the first indicator is the income share of GDP, this indicator was previously used; the other two indicators are the Gini coefficient and the urban-rural income ratio. Reflect the quality of life indicators, with the urban-rural income indicators also reflect the consumption structure with the Engel coefficient. We are very concerned about the housing issue, we used two indicators: First, the per capita housing area, the second is new construction of affordable housing in an area accounting for the proportion of residential development area.
