Answer:

According to the given data Human Development Index (HDI) of Nepal = 0.558

Explanation:

Human Development Index (HDI) consists of three parameters to assess the quality of life which is referred as human development and well being.

These are

1. Life expectancy

2. Education or Knowledge availability

3. Per capita income of the concerned people of a country.

Life Expectancy Index assessment as per new HDI calculation method
New Life Index calculation has come out with changing its goalposts (minimum and maximum of the life expectancy). For life expectancy, it has taken 1980-2010 as years which are considered to form these values. Minimum value for life expectancy is fixed at 20 years in new calculation. Maximum value for life index is kept at 83.2 years.

Formula to calculate Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = Life Expectancy of a country -20/ 83.2-20
Education Index assessment as per new HDI calculation method
Education Index (EI) assessment is composite of two indices. They are

1. Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI)

2. Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI)

Mean Years of Schooling means the spent years by a 25 years or older person in school. The low value was fixed at 0 and the maximum value for mean years of schooling is fixed at 13.2. These values are taken after observation of various countries in the time of 1980-2010.
Formula to calculate Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI) = Mean years of schooling - 0/ 13.2 - 0
Expected Years of Schooling means years that is to be spent by a 5 year old boy in school in a particular country. This assessment of goal posts (Minimum and maximum values) for expected years of schooling is also based on 1980 – 2010 in various countries. Low value for expected years of schooling is fixed at 0 and high value is fixed at 20.6.

Formula to calculate Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI) = Expected Years of Schooling – 0/ 20.6 – 0

Formula to calculate Education Index = (MYSI X EYSI) 1/2 – 0/ 0.951 - 0
Income Index assessment as per new HDI calculation method
To calculate this index, goal posts are set as per observations during 1980 – 2010 in various countries. Gross National Income per capita is taken as measure to calculate new Income Index in new HDI. Minimum income is set as $163 and maximum income is set as $108,211.
Formula to calculate Income Index = Log (Country's GNIpc) – Log ($163) / Log ($108,211) – Log ($163)
Formula to calculate Human Development Index (HDI) = (Life Expectancy Index X Education Index X Income Index) 1/3
New Human Development Index (HDI) is geometric mean of Life Expectancy Index (LEI), Education Index (EI) and Income Index (II).
After this calculation total value will be between 0 and 1. As per the values gained, countries will be placed in the list of division of countries. They are divided into very high human development, high human development, medium high human development and low high human development countries.

Hence, according to the given data Human Development Index (HDI) of Nepal = 0.558
