Question

What do you mean by HDI. List down the major indications for HDI

Answer 1

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. A country scores higher HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the GDP per capita is higher.

The HDI is calculated using the following indicators:

•Health - Life expectancy at birth.
•Education - expected years schooling for school-age children and average years of schooling in the adult population.
•Income - measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.
