It is important to learn about standard of living because if you plan on moving to a different country you may want to know what the standard of living is like in the country you want to move to. Say you want to move to a country that has beautiful beaches and has cheap housing. Their is one problem. This country has terribly low health. Say they have .5 doctors per 1000. And their GDP per capita is $3,000. You would not want to move to this country, but if you did not learn about standard of living, you might have moved here and struggled with meeting your needs and wants.
Economics and Standard of Living can be analyzed by the 5 themes because location has a lot to do with what a country's standard of living is. Region can affect how a country makes its money. If it is a native american region they may make their money in a more traditional way like growing crops.
