The HDI is calculated as the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of these three dimensions. It ranges from 0 to 1. The closer the score is to 1, the better the country is performing.
	\|codingrules=The HDI is derived from four key indicators: life expectancy at birth (in years), expected years of schooling (in years), mean years of schooling (in years), and GNI per capita (in 2017 PPP$). The calculation involves two main steps. First, the minimum and maximum values (goalposts) are established for each indicator to convert them into indices ranging from 0 to 1. These goalposts represent "natural zeros" and "aspirational targets," which help standardize the component indicators. After defining the minimum and maximum values, the dimension index is calculated using the formula:<br>		\|codingrules=
	Dimension index = (actual value - minimum value) / (maximum value - minimum value).<br>		<ul>
	For the education dimension, this formula is applied to each of the two education indicators, and the arithmetic mean of the resulting indices is taken. Since each dimension index reflects capabilities in the corresponding area, the transformation from income to capabilities is assumed to be concave (Anand and Sen, 2000), meaning that each additional dollar of income has a diminishing impact on expanding capabilities. As a result, for income, the natural logarithm of the actual, minimum, and maximum values is used.<br>		<li>The HDI is derived from four key indicators: life expectancy at birth (in years), expected years of schooling (in years), mean years of schooling (in years), and GNI per capita (in 2017 PPP$).

	about government policy priorities. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and having a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. The closer the score is to 1, the better the country is doing. The health dimension is assessed by life expectancy at birth, the education dimension is measured by mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and more and expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. The standard of living dimension is measured by gross national income per capita. The HDI uses the logarithm of income, to reflect the diminishing importance of income with increasing GNI. The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated into a composite index using geometric mean. Refer to Technical notes for more details. The HDI simplifies and captures only part of what human development entails. It does not reflect on inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc. The HDRO offers the other composite indices as broader proxy on some of the key issues of human development, inequality, gender disparity		about government policy priorities.

	\|codingrules=The HDI is derived from four key indicators: life expectancy at birth (in years), expected years of schooling (in years), mean years of schooling (in years), and GNI per capita (in 2017 PPP$). The calculation involves two main steps. First, the minimum and maximum values (goalposts) are established for each indicator to convert them into indices ranging from 0 to 1. These goalposts represent "natural zeros" and "aspirational targets," which help standardize the component indicators.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and having a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. The closer the score is to 1, the better the country is doing. The health dimension is assessed by life expectancy at birth, the education dimension is measured by mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and more and expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. The standard of living dimension is measured by gross national income per capita. The HDI uses the logarithm of income, to reflect the diminishing importance of income with increasing GNI. The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated into a composite index using geometric mean. Refer to Technical notes for more details. The HDI simplifies and captures only part of what human development entails. It does not reflect on inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc. The HDRO offers the other composite indices as broader proxy on some of the key issues of human development, inequality, gender disparity		about government policy priorities.
