Understanding of Economic Growth

Measuring living standards is a crucial factor when comparing countries' economic

and overall quality of life.

For example, two countries might have similar GDP per capita, but one may have a
better healthcare system, more social services, or less inequality, leading to higher
living standards. This difference would imply that the country with better social services
