Gross National Product

The Gross National Product (GNP) is a country’s total production of goods and services in a year, expressed in money.

It is a huge amount of money!

You divide this amount by the number of inhabitants. The result is the average income per person, also called GNP per head of the population.

You always have to keep in mind:

• The GNP per head of the population doens't show you the

  social inequality and regional inequality

For example:

In poor countries, incomes in the cities are usually higher than in the countryside.

Another factor to look at is the difference in purchasing power. 

For example:

In poor countries you can buy a whole meal for a euro, while in the Netherlands you can only get an ice cream.

Basic necessity is something that everyone needs for a reasonable life. 

There are four basic necessities:
