Using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a sole indicator of the welfare of a country’s people has its limitations, and there are several reasons why Gross Domestic Product may not accurately reflect the overall well-being of a nation
Here are some points outlining the limitations of GDP in reflecting the comprehensive welfare of a country,
Income Distribution: Gross Domestic Product Growth Doesn’t Guarantee Equal Welfare
Non-Monetary Exchanges: Unseen Contributions Impacting Welfare
Externalities: Unseen Impacts on Welfare from Externalities
GDP does not consider externalities, which are unintended side effects of economic activities, which can be positive or negative.
| 1 | Gross Domestic Product at Market Prices (GDPMP) | 
 GDPMP = C + I + G + X – M  | 
| 2 | GDP at Factor Cost (GDPFC) | 
 GDPFC = GDPMP – NIT  | 
| 3 | Net Domestic Product at Market Prices (NDPMP) | 
 NDPMP = GDPMP – Dep  | 
| 4 | NDP at Factor Cost (NDPFC) | 
 NDPFC = NDPMP – Net Product Taxes – Net Production Taxes  | 
| 5 | Gross National Product at Market Prices (GNPMP) | 
 GNPMP = GDPMP + NFIA  | 
| 6 | GNP at Factor Cost (GNPFC) | 
 GNPFC = GNPMP – Net Product Taxes – Net Production Taxes  | 
| 7 | Net National Product at Market Prices (NNPMP) | 
 NNPMP = GNPMP – Depreciation NNPMP = NDPMP + NFIA  | 
| 8 | NNP at Factor Cost (NNPFC)
 Or National Income (NI)  | 
 NI = NNPMP – Net Product Taxes – Net Production Taxes = NDPFC + NFIA = NPFC  |
