Human Development Index (HDI)

Measures a country's well-being by combining three dimensions: life expectancy, education, and gross national income (GNI) per capita
Developed by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian economist Amartya Sen in 1990

Accounts for inequality in distribution of HDI dimensions, providing a more accurate picture of a country's well-being

- Economic growth and income distribution
