Human Development Index (HDI)

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measure used to assess a country's overall development by considering three key dimensions: health (life expectancy at birth), education (mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and standard of living (gross national income per capita). The HDI ranges from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate better human development. It helps compare the well-being of people across different countries, highlighting not just economic factors but also social aspects of life, providing a broader view of development than income alone.
