Human development (HDI)

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. A country scores a higher HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the gross national income GNI (PPP) per capita is higher.

  1. 0,800 - 1,000 very high
  2. 0,700 - 0,799 high
  3. 0,555 - 0,699 medium
  4. 0,350 - 0,554 low

The higher the index, the greater the human development in the country. Conversely, the smaller the index, the less human development.
