Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While economic measures are important, socio demographic and environmental measures can provide valuable insights into development challenges such as inequalities, health issues, and environmental sustainability. Safe drinking water may not be a challenge in some regions, but access to other basic needs such as sanitation and electricity are still major developmental issues. Additionally, sustainable development remains a U.N. goal, making socio demographic and environmental measures relevant in measuring progress towards this goal.
