What is HDI?

HDI stands for the Human Development Index. It’s a measure used to rank the human development of given countries. In other words, this can be used to distinguish between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world countries.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the HDI:

\[ HDI = (0.8 \cdot 0.7 \cdot 0.6)^{1/3} \approx 0.68 \]

The Human Development Index (HDI) is approximately 0.68.
