Q

Advantages of HDI

A
  • Provides a more comprehensive measurement than income, education, and life expectancy alone.
  • May allow for the governments of individual countries to identify areas for improvement.
  • Allows for the tracking of a country’s progress over time.
21
Q

Limitations of HDI

A
  • It does not consider factors such as gender equality, human rights, political systems or levels of discrimination so it doesn’t fully reflect the concept of human development
  • Data collection can be inconsistent between countries, so comparisons may not be accurate.
  • Only measures the mean/averages therefore does not take into consideration the inequalities that exist within (or between) countries.
22
Q

HDI usefulness in measuring human development

A

Low HDI; low mean years of schooling, low life expectancy and low GNI = poor human development.
But High HDI = high human development.
