4. Should fringe benefits provided by your employer (health care, dental, contributions to your retirement plan) be counted in GDP

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, it should be counted in the GDP. Mainly because the GDP revolves around measuring the total income earned and spend from products or services. When you work for an employer you are receiving income from that employer and benefits would also be considered part of your income. Even though these benefits are being paid by your employer they are still considered income, and you would still be paying for these services yourself if the employer was not paying them. Therefore, it would make sense that it is included as received income and counted towards the GDP.
