Answer 1

Answer:

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an index that measures key dimensions of human development. The three key dimensions are:1

– A long and healthy life – measured by life expectancy.

– Access to education – measured by expected years of schooling of children at school-entry age and mean years of schooling of the adult population.

– And a decent standard of living – measured by Gross National Income per capita adjusted for the price level of the country.

This entry provides a basic overview of the Human Development Index over the last decades using the standard HDI methodology of the UNDP.

In addition we are looking at long-term development by relying on the Historical Index of Human Development (HIHD), developed by historian Leandro Prados de la Escosura.

The metrics of the HDI and HIHD are similar, but differ slightly in how they are used to derive the development index – details on these measures can be found in the Data Quality & Definitions section below.

On all aspects Our World in Data offers research and data in dedicated entries:

Here is the Our World in Data entry on life expectancy.

Here are our entries on Literacy and the Global Rise of Education.

And GNI per capita we discuss in our entry on Economic Growth.

The Human Development Index around the world

The HDI data is regularly published by the United Nations Development Programme.

The differences across the world are very large, ranging from the highest values in North America, Europe, Japan, and Oceania to the lowest in central Africa.
