HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX
GROUP NO 08
• The Human Development Index
• (HDI) is a composite statistic used to rank countries by level of "human development" and separate developed(high development) , developing (middle development) and under developed (low development) countries.

Origins of the HDI
• The origins of the HDI are to be found in the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Human Development Reports (HDRs).
• These were devised and launched by a group of economists in 1990 and had the explicit purpose: ‘‘to shift the focus of development economics from national income accounting to people centered policies’’.
• In here they discussed that human development was needed in order to convince the public, academics, and policy-makers that they can and should evaluate development not only by economic advances but also improvements in human well-being.
Methodology of Calculating HDI
• The formula defining the HDI is promulgated by the United Nations Development Programme.
• In general, to transform a raw variable, say x, into a unit-free index between 0 and 1.
• There are 2 methods of calculating HDI,old & new.
• Where and are the lowest and highest values the variable x can attain, respectively.
• The Human Development Index (HDI) then represents the uniformly weighted sum with ⅓ contributed by each of the following factor indices:
The New Method• In its 2010 Human Development Report the UNDP
began using a new method of calculating the HDI. The following three indices are used:
• Life Expectancy Index (LEI) =LE-20/(83.2-20)• Income Index (EI)= {In(GNIpc)- In(163)} /{In(108,211)-In(163)}
• Education Index
• Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI)= MYS-0/13.2-0 • Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI) = EYS-0/20.6-0

• HDI is the geometric mean of the previous three normalized indices.
