Question

'Per capita income' is criterion for development of which one of the following?

• A. United Nations Development Programme
• B. World Health Organisation
• C. World Trade Organisation
• D. World Bank

Hint:

Remember: World Bank = Per Capita Income; UNDP = HDI (health + education + income).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The World Bank uses per capita income as the main criterion to classify countries into income groups such as low-income, middle-income, and high-income economies. While the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) uses broader indicators like the Human Development Index (HDI) that include health and education along with income, and WHO and WTO focus on health and trade respectively, they do not use per capita income as their primary classification criterion.
