GDP leaves out unpaid household childcare and much informal activity. What follows for using GDP as a welfare measure?
A. It understates some welfare-creating activity, so GDP is not a complete measure of living standards✓ 答案
B. It always overstates living standards
C. It equals GNI by definition
D. It counts household work twice
解說
Unpaid work has no market price, so it is outside GDP even where it clearly adds value. GDP also omits many environmental costs and ignores how gains are distributed, which is why economists use it alongside other indicators.
