Answer 3

I don't know about "THE" 6 ways, but here are some:

- Is there proper infrastructure in place? (ie: running water, electricity, reliable roadways)  For more advanced countries such as those in the Eastern Bloc, access to technology may be a measurement oc economic development.

- Are diseases under control?  Many countries who are poorly developed lack the resources to properly vaccinate their citizens.

- Is inflation under control?  This can severely prohibit growth in a nation's economy.

- What is the level of unemployment?  If a large portion of the population is out of work. it can also seriously damage the ability for economic growth.

Answer 4

Life expectancy, literacy rate, computers/cars per capita, health/education spending per capita, maternal mortality rate, poverty rate, % of population with access to clean water, % of population that is malnourished.
