  1. HDI • The index was developed by Pakistan economist Dr. MahboobulHaq, Sir Richard Jolly with the help of Gustav Renis of Yale University and Lord Meghnad Desai of London School of Economics. • Used by UNDP in its human development reports since then • The HDI uses measures of life expectancy, literacy, education attainment, and GDP per capita for countries world wide

  2. HDI • The basic use of HDI is a composite measure of a country’s development (life expectancy, education and living standard) • Life expectancy at birth, a measure of pop health and longevity. • Education and knowledge as measured by adult literacy rate with 2/3 weighting and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary ratio with 1/3 ratio • Living standard as measured by GDP per capita at purchasing power parity in US$

  3. Formula • In general to transform a raw variable say (x) into a unit free index b/w 0-1 (which allows indices to be added together) the following formula is used: • X index = x - max (x)/ max (x)-min (x) • Min(x), Max (x), are minimum and maximum values x can attain • The HDI then represent the average of the following three indices: Source: http://www.slideshare.net/Milanregmi/hdi-17271295

  4. Formula for HDI • Life expectancy index = LE-20/90-20 • Education index = 2/3 x ALR + 1/3 General • Adult literacy rate = ALR-0/100-0 • Gross enrollment index (GEI) = CGER-0/100-0 • GDP index = log (GDP pc)- log(100)/Log (40000)-log (100) • HDI = Education index + health index + economic index/3
