Economic development and planning questions.

The per capita Gross National Product (GNP) is often used as a measure of

1. Overall social status of economies
2. Relative social status of economies
3. Relative economic well being of people in different countries
4. Relative status of societies of different countries.

For any level of national per capita income :

1. The more the inequality in the distribution the less the incidence of poverty
2. The more equitable the distribution , the less the incidence of poverty.
3. The more equality in the distribution the greater the incidence of poverty
4. The more the unequal the distribution the more unequal incidence of poverty.

Once clear pattern of changing economic structure in the course of economic development is that : As per capita income rises,

1. The share of industry in GNP increases
2. The share of labour in industry increases
3. The share of industrial labour in GNP increases
4. The share of agricultural labour in GNP  decreases

Agriculture`s role in economic development is central because

1. Industries are less important in developing countries
2. Poor people in developed countries depend on agriculture
3. Agriculture is more important in developed countries
4. Most people in developing countries depend on agriculture

According to the stages of growth model of development , the process of underdevelopment is described in terms of :

1. Seridus stages through which all countries must proceed
2. Stages through which developing countries must proceed
3. Serious stages through which all countries must proceed
4. Sequence of development stages through which all countries must proceed.

The stages growth theories of economic growth emphasized that in order for economies to grow they should:

1. Increase the proportion of national income not consumed.
2. Increase the proportion of household income saved
3. Increase the proportion of natioinal income consumed
4. Serve the proportion of national income.

Economic growth is

1. Not synonymous with widespread improvements in the welfare of the population
2. Synonymous with widespread improvements in the welfare of the population
3. Synonymous with widespread equitable income distribution
4. Not synonymous with widespread improvements in national income

The dependence theorists saw underdevelopment

1. As an internally induced phenomenon
2. As an externally induced phenomenon
3. As a market induced phenomenon
4. As an internally induced LDC phenomenon

Household expenditure surveys are used to

1. Monitor household expenditures
2. Monitor household incomes
3. Monitor living standards
4. Monitor population expenditures

By definition economic development involves

1. Changes in investments and savings
2. Changes in humans standard of living
3. Changes in peoples level of investment and saving
4. Changes in the national level of investment.
