HDI Formula

The Human Development Index (HDI)

The computed ________ of a country is an average of indexes of each of the life aspects that are examined: knowledge and understanding, a long and healthy life, and an acceptable standard of living.

is to help the United Nations determine which countries (especially which least-developed countries) are most in need of assistance.

The fundamental purpose of the HDI:

Long and Healthy Life

0 when life expectancy is 20 and equal to 1 when life expectancy is 85.

Standard of living

1 when GNI per capita is $75,000 and equal to 0 when GNI per capita is $100.

Knowledge and understanding

15 mean years of schooling equals 1, and 18 years of expected schooling equals 1.

1. Long and Healthy Life 2. Access to Education 3. Decent Standard of Living

3 basic dimensions (indicators) of human development

The higher the HDI, the better.

A high HDI essentially means that the country in question offers a generally high standard of living, with decent healthcare, education, and opportunities to earn money.

life expectancy higher in developed countries

Generally, wealthier countries have a higher average life expectancy than poorer countries - achieved through higher standards of living, more effective health systems, and more resources invested in determinants of health (e.g. sanitation, housing, education).

Decent standard of living

It is measured by GNI per capita.

Access to Education

It is measured by expected years of schooling of children at school-entry age and mean years of schooling of the adult population.

measured by expected years of schooling of children at school-entry age and mean years of schooling of the adult population.

Knowledge and understanding

measured by life expectancy.

Long and Healthy Life

The Human Development Index (HDI)

is a summary measurement of basic achievement levels in human development.
