Which three measures are combined in the Human Development Index (HDI)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Life expectancy, education and income
- Step 1: The HDI measures development by more than wealth.
- Step 2: It uses life expectancy, years of education and gross national income per person.
Answer
Life expectancy, education and income.
Why not the others: Population, area and GDP: the HDI does not use these. Crime, health and housing: the HDI does not use these. Literacy, employment and exports: these are not the HDI measures.
