What is Human Development Index (HDI)?
Human Development Index (HDI) is a holistic statistical measure to assess the average achievements of a country in three basic dimensions of human development by the United Nations:
- Health: Life at birth is measured by expectancy, showing how long people live on average.
- Education: Adults were evaluated through years of school education and years of school education for children entering school.
- Income: Purchase by National Income (GNI) was adjusted to per capita power equality, which reflects the average income level and standard of living.
Each dimension is generalized on a scale of 0 to 1, where 1 indicates the highest achieved level in that dimension. HDi is then calculated as geometric meanings of these three indices, which produces a score from 0 to 1. A high HDi score means that a country offers a long, healthy life, knowledge acquisition and decent standard of living standard.Beyond the economic metrics, HDI emphasizes human welfare as a correct measure of development, affecting policy makers to prioritize health, education and equitable income.
