 The Human Development Index - going beyond income

Each year since 1990 the Human Development Report has published the
human development index (HDI) that looks beyond GDP to a broader
definition of well-being. The HDI provides a composite measure of three
dimensions of human development: living a long and healthy life (measured by
life expectancy), being educated (measured by adult literacy and enrolment at
the primary, secondary and tertiary level) and having a decent standard of living
(measured by purchasing power parity, PPP, income). The index is not in any
sense a comprehensive measure of human development. It does not, for
example, include important indicators such as inequality and difficult to measure
indicators like respect for human rights and political freedoms. What it does
provide is a broadened prism for viewing human progress and the complex
relationship between income and well-being.

The HDI for Ethiopia is 0.371, which gives Ethiopia a rank of 170th out of 177
countries with data (Table 1).

This year’s HDI, which refers to 2004, highlights the very large gaps in well-
being and life chances that continue to divide our increasingly interconnected
world. By looking at some of the most fundamental aspects of people’s lives and

running up an unsustainable ecological debt that will be inherited by future generations.
