Answer #1

real gdp and percapita gdp are used as the indicators of standard of living since ages now, but these measures has there own flaws. these measures include both good and bad. if an economy faces a natural disaster and for the recovery government spends money it will be added to the possitive side of the gdp but no body will agree that the economy is better off because of the disaster. like wise neither GDP nor per capita gdp includes the happyness or internal satisfaction of a person where as thats the major thing that indicates if a person is really well or not. gdp doesnot count leasure and satisfaction, it doesnot adjust for the distribution of goods and also its not adjusted for the pollution cost, many more flaws are also there so neither GDP nor percapita gdp is a good measure of standard of living in the country.
