Abstract

This paper explores the correlation between economic indicators and economic development, focusing on common economic indicators such as GDP, Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), economic growth rate, and unemployment rate. It compares and analyzes data from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the United States, and China. The study finds that a single economic indicator cannot fully reflect a country's economic development and that multiple indicators must be considered to assess the economic situation more accurately. The paper also discusses differences in economic growth among countries, the impact of income disparity and unemployment rates on economic development, and emphasizes the importance of PPP in cross-country comparisons. Finally, it points out that in addition to GDP, factors such as income distribution and social welfare should also be considered when evaluating economic development. Keywords: Economic Indicators, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), Economic Growth Rate, Unemployment Rate
