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 newborn infant could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at
the time of birth stay the same throughout the infant’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.
• 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.
• GROSS NATIONAL INCOME (GNI) PER CAPITA: Aggregate income of an economy generated by its production and its ownership of factors
of production, less the incomes paid for the use of factors of production owned by the rest of the world, converted to international
dollars using PPP rates, divided by midyear population.

has been able to achieve some improvement in the
