human development index
used to measure and rank countries levels of social and economic development; provides a single statistic based on 3 dimensions: health, education and living standards; and 4 indicators: life expectancy, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling and GNI
life expectancy
an indication of how long a person can expect to live, its the number of years of life remaining to a person at a particular age if death rates do not change
mean years of schooling
average number of years of education received in a life-time by people aged 25 years or older
