Question: Parameters to measure it are Longevity, Literacy and Per Capita Income.
The correct answer is –
The answer to this question is the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI is a composite index that measures a country’s average achievements in three basic dimensions of human development:
-
Longevity, which is measured by life expectancy at birth.
-
Literacy, which is measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight).
-
Per Capita Income, which is measured by the logarithm of gross national income (GNI) per capita in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.
The HDI is prepared and published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Human Development Report. The HDI is widely used as a measure of a country’s overall level of human development and is used by policymakers, researchers, and advocates around the world.
