Abstract

Una scala assoluta per misurare lo sviluppo socioeconomico Anche se numerose variabili sono spesso considerate buoni indicatori dello sviluppo socioeconomico, restano ancora da risolvere alcuni problemi base. Innanzitutto, lo sviluppo socioeconomico deve essere misurato in termini più concreti e più precisi. In secondo luogo, deve essere ancora raggiunta una generale convergenza sulle variabili realmente adatte alla misurazione del fenomeno. Con l’impiego di dati relativi ai principali paesi del mondo (tratti da Unitcd Nationa Statistical Abstracts, 1979/80 e da World Bank’s Reports, 1980) è stata sviluppata una valida metodologia statistica per indirizzare e misurare lo sviluppo socioeconomico. L’analisi fornisce sostegno all’ipotesi secondo la quale lo sviluppo socioeconomico può essere più significativamente ed esattamente misurato utilizzando un indice composito di noti indicatori socioeconomici piuttosto che soltanto il PNL per capita. I risultati confermano la validità delle variabili impiegate nell’analisi.
