GEOGRAPHY
Today we discussed the Human Development Index. This statistic looks at the life expectancy, education (average schooling) and the gross national income of a country and rates them.
The United Nations ranks countries either, very high, high, medium and low. Check out the link below.
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX COUNTRY RANKING
Definitions
Human Development Index (HDI): A composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development—a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living.
Life expectancy at birth: Number of years a person could expect to live.
Expected years of schooling: Number of years of schooling that a child of school entrance age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrolment rates persist throughout the child’s life.
Mean years of schooling: Average number of years of education received by people ages 25 and older, converted from education attainment levels using official durations of each level.
Gross national income (GNI) per capita: Aggregate income of an economy
