List of countries by inequality-adjusted HDI
Encyclopedia
This is a list of countries by inequality-adjusted human development index (IHDI), as published by the UNDP in its 2011 Human Development Report
. According to the report, the IHDI is a "measure of the average level of human development of people in a society once inequality is taken into account. It captures the HDI of the average person in society, which is less than the aggregate HDI when there is inequality in the distribution of health, education and income. Under perfect equality, the HDI and IHDI are equal; the greater the difference between the two, the greater the inequality." In that sense, "the IHDI is the actual level of human development (taking into account inequality), while the HDI can be viewed as an index of the potential human development that could be achieved if there is no inequality."
The IHDI, estimated for 134 countries, captures the losses in human development due to inequality in health, education and income. Losses in the three dimensions vary across countries, ranging from 2.9% (Hong Kong
) to 52.0% (Chad
) in life expectancy
, 1.3% (Czech Republic
) to 49.7% (Yemen
) in education and 4.5% (Azerbaijan
) to 68.3% (Namibia
) in income. Overall loss in all three dimensions ranges from 5.0% (Czech Republic) to 43.5% (Namibia).
The table below ranks countries according to their inequality-adjusted human development index
(IHDI) and compares it to their HDI. The "Loss (%)" column, given by the difference between the HDI and the IHDI and expressed as a percentage, indicates the “loss” in potential human development due to inequality. The "Rank change" column reflects a country's rank difference between both HDI and IHDI lists, when only the 134 countries with a calculated IHDI are considered.
