1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP): GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. A higher GDP generally indicates a more developed economy.
2. Human Development Index (HDI): HDI is a composite index that measures a country's average achievements in three basic aspects of human development: health (life expectancy at birth), education (mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and standard of living (GDP per capita).
3. Poverty rate: The poverty rate measures the percentage of the population living below the poverty line, which is typically defined as earning less than a certain amount of income per day.
4. Literacy rate: The literacy rate measures the percentage of the population that can read and write at a specified age. A higher literacy rate is generally associated with higher levels of development.
5. Infant mortality rate: The infant mortality rate measures the number of deaths of infants under one year of age per 1,000 live births. A lower infant mortality rate is generally indicative of better healthcare and overall development.
6. Access to basic services: This measure assesses the availability and accessibility of basic services such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education.
7. Gender equality: Gender equality measures the extent to which men and women have equal opportunities and rights in society, including access to education, employment, and political participation.
8. Environmental sustainability: This measure assesses a country's efforts to protect the environment and natural resources, including measures to reduce pollution, conserve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change.
9. Income inequality: Income inequality measures the distribution of income within a country, typically using indicators such as the Gini coefficient. Higher levels of income inequality are often associated with lower levels of development.
10. Human rights: This measure assesses a country's respect for and protection of human rights, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights. Countries with strong human rights records are generally considered more developed.

Gender Development Index (GDI): Composite index measuring life expectancy, education, and income for women relative to men. 10. Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI): Composite index measuring poverty based on access to education, health, and living standards.
