HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

How does health enter the HDI?

The role of a long and healthy life in the Human Development Index.

Short answer

The health dimension in HDI represents the opportunity for a long and healthy life. Detailed values and methods should be read in the BPS publication, not inferred from the total index.

What the measure covers

A composite value does not describe every health facility or every population group.

HDI is a composite index combining three dimensions of human development. State it as an index value, not a percentage.

How to compare it

Use the same year, method, and geography. Read a change in the total with its health, education, and living-standard components.

Limits on conclusions

A national value simplifies variation across regions and population groups. Consult the source publication for detail and the full method.
