The national performance gap is the difference between a country's actual level of progress and the expected level for its per capita GNP.
For each indicator, the expected level of achievement has been calculated from the per capita GNPs and the relevant social indicators of all countries (see tables). The expected level therefore represents the level that the average-performing country could be expected to have reached for its level of GNP per capita.
