Option 4 : Gender ratio is equal

The correct answer is option 4.

  • HDI is a measure of human development in a country.
  • It is calculated based on the following parameters:
    • Life expectancy
    • Education level (avg. years of schooling)
    • Per Capita Income
  • It is developed by a Pakistani economist Mahbub Ul Haq.
  • HDI emphasizes peoples’ capabilities apart from the economic growth in the development of a nation.
  • It does not reflect the inequalities(gender parity), poverty and empowerment issues.

  •  IHDI (Inequality adjusted HDI)
    • It considers the inequalities present in the three parameters for calculation of a particular nation.
  • There is also GDI (Gender Development Index) that takes into account the gender disparity.
