The Human Development Index (HDI) is an index used to rank countries by level of "human development", which usually also implies whether a country is developed, developing, or underdeveloped
The HDI combines three dimensions:
*Life expectancy at birth, as an index of population health and longevity
*Knowledge and education, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weighting) and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weighting).
*Standard of living, as measured by the natural logarithm of gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity. -
