Short explanation

Classifying parts of the world by levels of economic development and quality of life involves analyzing various indicators that reflect the prosperity and well-being of populations. Economic development can be measured through metrics such as Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, which indicates the average income of a country's citizens. Quality of life encompasses broader aspects, including access to education, healthcare, and basic necessities like clean water. By examining these factors, we can categorize countries into groups such as low-income, middle-income, and high-income, helping to identify disparities and target areas for improvement.
