Economics: 10 indicators to evaluate basic standards of life of a Muslim community

10 indicators to evaluate basic standards of life of a Muslim community

being an economist, my job is to evaluate with measures and indicators. i often pondered a lot as to what will be an optimal(not necessarily the best) list of 10 indicators to evaluate the basic standards of life of any Muslim community in any country across the globe

well till now i am still debating within myself... but i guess i will list a preliminary list and work on it :)

1) poverty rate (definition of poverty: those who do not have the means to consume 3 meals per day)

2) access to pure drinking water

3) access to basic/emergecy medical services

4) rate of homelessness

5) literacy rate including quranic literacy

6) responsiveness for the growth in madrasahs

7) divorce rate

8) unemployment rate

9) crime rate

10) responsiveness for the growth in mosques and their services.
