GNI (Gross National Income) - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Last updated

GNI, or Gross National Income, is a way to measure the total amount of money a country's population earns in a year, including money made from working in other countries. It adds up all the earnings from people, businesses, and government, whether the money is made inside the country or abroad. This measure is important because it helps us understand the overall economic strength and wealth of a nation. By looking at GNI, we can compare how rich or poor different countries are and see how well people might be living in those places. It's a useful tool for studying development and economic health in GCSE Geography.
