Abstract
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the most important instruments to understand the economical position of an economy. The economic health of a country depends upon many factors, namely. consumption, business investment, government expenditure and net exports. The purpose of this study is to find out correlation among health, climate, and education related indicators of various countries as per their development status. The selected and reduced subset of indicators has been used for forecasting of GDP corresponding to High Income and Upper Middle Income countries using the World Bank’s collection of indicators, assembled from officially documented international sources.
