Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measure of a country's development based on its people's well-being, including life expectancy, educational attainment, and income. It was developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a way to measure a country's progress beyond just economic indicators such as Gross National Product (GNP) or Gini Index, which measures income inequality. The HDI provides a more comprehensive view of a country's overall quality of life.
