Question

Which of the following is NOT a component of the Human Development Index (HDI)?

• A. Industrial Growth Rate.
• B. Per capita Income (GNI)
• C. Literacy Rate
• D. Life Expectancy

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Industrial Growth Rate.

• HDI is a composite index with three main dimensions: a long and healthy life (measured by life expectancy), knowledge (measured by education and literacy), and a decent standard of living (measured by GNI per capita).

• Industrial growth is not a direct component of the HDI calculation.
