What are Development Indicators?

Development Indicators are used to examine whether a country is developed or not. Geographers use a series of development indicators to compare the development of one country to another. There is not a single way to calculate the level of development of a country. It is usually a numerical measure of quality of life in a country. Indicators are used to illustrate progress of a country in meeting a range of economic, social, and environmental goals.
