Question

UNDP reports publishes every year the Human Development Index. Which of the following is not a criteria used to measure the Human Development Index?

• A. Health
• B. Education
• C. Living Standards
• D. Human Rights

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Human Development Index (HDI) is calculated based on three key dimensions:

• Health: Measured by life expectancy at birth.
• Education: Assessed through the mean years of schooling for adults and expected years of schooling for children.
• Living Standards: Evaluated using Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.

Human Rights is not a criterion used for measuring the HDI. While human rights are crucial for overall development, they are not included in the HDI calculation.

Dimension	Indicator
Health	Life Expectancy
Education	Mean & Expected Years of Schooling
Living Standards	GNI per Capita

Thus, the correct answer is Human Rights.
