Introduction of Human Development Index

 The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary

measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human
development:

1) A long and healthy life,

2) Being knowledgeable and
3) Have a decent standard of living

 The HDI uses the logarithm of income, to reflect the

diminishing importance of income with increasing GNI.

What is meant by HDI (Human Development Index) ?

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistical measure

(composite index) developed by the United Nations to assess the social
and economic development of countries around the world.
The HDI is a summary measurement of basic achievement levels in
human development.

• HDI scales between 0 and 1,

• And then the geometric mean of the three components is

calculated.

 The long and healthy life dimension is

measured by life expectancy at birth. The
life expectancy at birth is a statistical

expected to live based on certain
demographic factors such as the year of
birth and current age.
 25 years and 85 years
 The indicators of education are the
expected years of schooling and the
mean years of schooling. According to
the UN, the average maximum years 2. Education
of schooling is 18 years, while the
mean maximum years of schooling is
15 years.  The standard of living is usually
measured by the 
gross national income (GNI) per
capita. The GNI indicates the total

created by the residents of a

 Conclusion:

• The HDI gives an overall index of economic development.

• There are certain differences among different states

development conditions so there must be equal opportunities
for development for all.

• Some important issues are missing in HDI such as

infrastructure and some economic factors.
