Assignment on development:
The Human Development Index (HDI) is the normalized measure
of life expectancy, literacy, education, standard of living, and GDP per capita for countries worldwide. It is an improved standard means of measuring
well-being, especially child welfare and thus human development.[14] Although
this index makes an effort to simplify human development, it is much more
complex than any index or set of indicators.
