Why is it necessary to understand welfare separately from national income in macroeconomics?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because income distribution and quality of life are different issues
National income measures the monetary value of final goods and services produced or the incomes generated in an economy. It does not by itself reveal how income is distributed, whether people enjoy good health and education, or whether production causes environmental damage. A country may have rising income alongside inequality or poor living conditions. Therefore welfare requires a broader evaluation of distribution, capabilities, public services and quality of life.
