Human Development Index
Human Development Index[edit]
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a system devised to rank countries into four categories of human \\ development, created by economist Mahbub al Haq in 1990. It takes into consideration measures of life expectancy, income and education with the explicit purpose of steering development economics away from solely national income calculations toward more people-centric policies. The HDI has been adopted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which now publishes an annual Human Development report using the HDI.
