Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index

The Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) is a measure that evaluates a country's overall well-being, considering not only average achievements in health, education, and income but also how evenly these benefits are distributed among its people. Unlike the standard Human Development Index, which reflects average progress, the IHDI adjusts for inequalities, showing a more accurate picture of equitable development. When inequalities are high, the IHDI score decreases, highlighting disparities that might be masked by average figures. This helpsUnderstand whether progress benefits all segments of society equally.
