Answer :
The problem with using GDP to determine the general welfare of a country is that it does not take into account individual wealth, so sometimes census data is used as well.
It depends on what kind of indicator you are using. For example, if you use Human Development Index, then there are some factors that are not included in GDP. They are life expectancy at birth, literacy level or schooling. GDP does not take these measures into account because GDP deals with final goods and services and takes into account the measures that define them.
