The Human Development Index (HDI)

• The Human Development Index (HDI) is an amalgamation of various statistical indicators that collectively assess the well-being and development levels of different countries.
• It incorporates measures such as:
• • Life expectancy
  • Educational attainment (including both completed schooling years and the expected years of schooling at the start of the education journey)
  • Per capita income.
• These indicators serve as crucial parameters for ranking countries based on their levels of human development.
• A country scores a higher level of HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the gross national income GNI (PPP) per capita is higher.
• It was developed by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul-Haq and was further used to measure a country's development by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)'s Human Development Report Office
