CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Development Index (HDI) measures each country’s social and economic development by focusing on the following four factors: mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, life expectancy at birth, and gross national income (GNI) per capita.

Detailed explanation-2: -The HDI provides a better picture of a nation’s development because it incorporates primary social and economic factors. Also, the HDI emphasizes the importance of individuals and their ability to unleash their maximum potential.

Detailed explanation-3: -The HDI is a summary measure of human development. How is it defined? The HDI is a summary composite measure of a country’s average achievements in three basic aspects of human development: health, knowledge and standard of living.

Detailed explanation-4: -The HDI is calculated as the geometric mean (equally-weighted) of life expectancy, education, and GNI per capita, as follows: The education dimension is the arithmetic mean of the two education indices (mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling).

Detailed explanation-5: -The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions. 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.
