  2. A human development (HDI) index is a new way of calculating the development of a country, by taking into account income, life expectancy and educational attainment. It is a better way of measuring development because it refers to social and economic progress or regress. The HDI puts a minimum and maximum for each dimension these are goalposts, and then it shows where each country stands in comparison to these goalposts by putting them as a value between 0 and 1. http://www.measureofamerica.org/maps/?gclid=COnk78zNp60CFcQQNAodOWlXdg Human Development Index

  3. The educational part of HDI is measured by the average of years adults of 25 years old have been to school. And expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. Expected years of schooling are estimated based on the enrolments by age at each levels or years of education and the population’s official school age for each level of education. HDI: Education

  4. How is life expectancy calculated? Life expectancy is calculated using an average of the number of years people born on the same year in the same living conditions. Life expectancy is important because it can reflect how the healthcare in a certain area is and what other factors are involved that could be improved. http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/data/calculator/ http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/indicators/69206.html http://hdr.undp.org/en/data/trends/ HDI: Life expectancy ( Health)

  5. The GNI per capita reflect the national income it does not tell us what the money is used for wither it is in education, health or military expansion. ( http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.PCAP.PP.CD ) HDI: Income ( Gross national income per capita)

  6. What is gross national happiness ? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zqdqa4YNvI ) Gross National happiness

  7. “According to the UN human development index (HDI), which measures life expectancy, literacy, education levels and standards of living in a country, six of the 10 most developed nations in the world are in Europe. And when the HDI takes into account inequality, nine out of the 10 best-performing nations are European, proof that the old continent has been the most effective in creating the least stratified societies. I realise the 24% of employed Greek citizens might take issue with being told they are lucky to live in Europe. But in 2011, after four years of recession, Greece still had a higher GD per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP) than any country in South America and Africa as well as most of Asia, according to the IMF. None of the much-touted Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) has a GDP per capita even close to that of the European "sick man". ‘’ By RemiAdekoya guardian.co.uk Wednesday 19 September 2012 Current Affairs
