The human development index (developed by UNDP) representing the development level of a country based on three components: income, education and longevity.
The HDI contains the following three dimensions:
- life expectancy at birth, representing a long and healthy life
- educational attainment, representing knowledge
- real gross domestic product (GDP in purchasing power parity, PPP dollars). This represents a decent standard of living.
For each of the components the following minimum and maximum values have been established:
- HDI1 Life expectancy at birth ranging from 25 and 85 years
- HDI2a Adult literacy, ranging from 0% and 100%
- HDI2b Enrolment ratio, ranging from 0% and 100%
- HDI3 Real income per capita expressed in 1995 US dollars in PPP (ranging from $100 and $40000).
Given the actual values, the level of development in the range of zero to one is determined for each of the three indicators. The HDI is then obtained by taking the average of the three components.
