The document discusses human development and the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI is a numerical measure composed of three core capabilities: health, education, and income. These three indicators are universally valued, measurable, and reliable proxies for human well-being. Health is represented by life expectancy at birth, education by access to knowledge, and income by purchasing power. The HDI aims to assess people's real freedoms and opportunities to live a long, healthy, and knowledgeable life.

What is human development? ? Human development is defined as the process of enlarging people¡¯s freedoms and opportunities and improving their well-being. Human development is about the real freedom ordinary people have to decide who to be, what to do, and how to live.
THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX It is an easy-to-understand numerical measure made up of what most people believe are the very basic ingredients of human well-being: health, education, and income.
WHY HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND INCOME? ? These three core capabilities are universally valued around the world, and measurable, intuitively sensible, and reliable indicators exist to represent them¡ªtwo critical considerations in the construction of a composite index.
Healthy Life ? In theHD Index, life expectancy at birth stands as a proxy for the capability to live a long and healthy life. Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a baby born today is expected to live if current mortality patterns continue throughout his or her lifetime.
ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE ? Access to knowledge is a critical determinant of long- term well-being and is essential to individual freedom, self-determination, and self-sufficiency. Education is critical to people¡¯s real freedom to decide what to do and who to be.
Income ? Income is essential to meeting basic needs like food and shelter¡ªand to moving beyond these necessities to a life of genuine choice and freedom. Income enables valuable options and alternatives, and its absence can limit life chances and restrict access to many opportunities.
