HDI
Development Index is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standard of living for countries worldwide.
ALR = 10
CGER = 3
GDPpc = 5
Thus,
LEI = 0.33
ALI = 0.1
GER = 0.03
EI = .076
It is given as a unit-free number between 0 and 1, where 1 represents the maximum possible value.
It is calculated as the average of three indices:
- Life Expectancy Index
- (LE - 25)/(85 - 25)
- Education Index
- 2/3 * ALI + 1/3 * GEI
- GDP Index
- (log(GDPpc * 100)-log(100)) / (log(40000)-log(100))
ALI and GEI are defined as:
- Adult Literacy Index (ALI)
- (ALR-0)/(100-0)
- Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER)
- (CGER-0)/(100-0)
Where LE = Life Expectancy, ALR = Adult Literacy Rate, CGER = Combined Gross Enrollment Ratio, and GDPpc = GDP per capita at PPP
Calculation for Thay
LE = 45ALR = 10
CGER = 3
GDPpc = 5
Thus,
LEI = 0.33
ALI = 0.1
GER = 0.03
EI = .076
GDPI = 0.268
Therefore, the Human Development Index of Thay is equal to (0.33 + 0.076 + 0.268) / 3, or
0.225.
