1. Remittances
2. Foreign investment
Which of the above is/are correct?Correct
The difference between a nation’s gross national product (GNP) andgross domestic product (GDP) is called NFIA. Net foreign factor income or NFIA is the difference between the aggregate amount that a country’s citizens and companies earn abroad, and the aggregate amount that foreign citizens and overseas companies earn in that country. The NFIA level is generally not substantial in most nations, since factor payments earned by their citizens and those paid to foreigners more or less offset each other. However, the NFAI’s impact may be significant in smaller nations with substantial foreign investment in relation to their economy and few assets overseas, since their GDP will be quite high compared to GNP

Question 8 of 30
8. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Gender Inequality Index ( GII)
1.GII measures the inequality that exist between men and women.
2. Three dimensions considered to make GII are reproductive health, empowerment and labour market.
3. The indicators for Empowerment are attainment of secondary and higher education and employment.
4. GII ranges from 0 to 1, and 1 represents fair equality.
Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?Correct
The GII is an inequality index. It measures gender inequalities in three important aspects of human development—
reproductive health, measured by maternal mortality ratio and adolescent birth rates;
empowerment, measured by proportion of parliamentary seats occupied by females and proportion of adult females and males aged 25 years and older with at least some secondary education;
and economic status, expressed as labour market participation and measured by labour force participation rate of female and male populations aged 15 years and older. So statement 3 is wrong.
The GII is built on the same framework as the IHDI — to better expose differences in the distribution of achievements between women and men. It measures the human development costs of gender inequality, thus the higher the GII value the more disparities between females and males and the more loss to human development.
GII =0 , represents fair equality and 1 represents very poor equality .
