HDI is Human development index which shows how developed a country is. In different stages it could about crops or birth rate |

Something interesting 7th February 2010 |
The US is #13 on the latest report. Of the top 10 countries on the most recent report, all of them have a smaller wealth gap than the United States and some form of universal healthcare. The wealth gap, although not black and white in terms of correlation, is statistically significant. |

Countries high on the Human Development Index tend to have annual population growth rates of 1 percent or less, high urban population percentages (65 percent and up) and balanced percentages of people under 15 and over 65 years of age. Those low on the index tend to have annual population growth rates of 1.5 percent or higher, less than 35 percent of the population in urban areas, and an under-15 population that greatly outnumbers those above 65 years (in most cases, more than 10 times as many.) |

It is impossible for countries with a low HDI to move higher in the index without getting a stable government as there is an obvious correlation between poorer countries and those with wars and corrupt governments. No aid should be given to these countries either as (like in Zimbabwe's case) the money given to them goes straight into the burgeoning pockets of those in the government. |

The HDI is an index that shows the greed of the western world that has kept the rest of the world poor and miserable. There will never be hope for improvement unless the westen corporatocracy stop to think that there is always a limit for everything and that material wealth of any magnitude can not guarantee perpetual life. |

When do developing countries like Ethiopia move to the top. |

Solomon Wakjira 27th October 2009 |
I do not know why developed countries like to see and continue to see developed countries like Ethiopia remaining on the bottom of HDI. What I think is that they must give their support-support that can really help them move out from that rampant poverty and the over 83 million people can see something different. But with that fire fighting like support that is just for daily consumption, I do not think the HDI will be different in the coming decade even! |

I'm doing a project on the Human Development Index and was wondering: Who developed it and why? Thanks |

The human Development index does not use the median for its calculations what do you have to say about the inequitable distribution of wealth and the poverty found among the rich countries? |

The Human Development Index is calculated using various indicators for quality of life, such as health indicators and access to healthcare services, life expectancy at birth, nutrition levels, education and literacy levels, access to basic needs such as water and sanitation, and so on. It also takes into account GDP per capita in terms of Purchasing Power Parity and percentage of the population living below the poverty line. Countries high on the Human Development Index tend to have annual population growth rates of 1 percent or less, high urban population percentages (65 percent and up) and balanced percentages of people under 15 and over 65 years of age. Those low on the index tend to have annual population growth rates of 1.5 percent or higher, less than 35 percent of the population in urban areas, and an under-15 population that greatly outnumbers those above 65 years (in most cases, more than 10 times as many.) |
