9. History of HDI

14.  Original HDI = 1/3(Life
Expectancy)+1/3(Education)+1/3
(Per-Capita Income)
 Education included adult literacy
rate and school enrollments.
Original HDI used arithmetic
mean to calculate HDI.
 Hybrid HDI uses geometric mean
rather than arithmetic mean in
calculating HDI.

17. Example of Calculation of HDI

24. The UNDP Pakistan National
Human Development Report on
Inequality 2020 detailed how the
country's allocation on education,
health services, and social
protection programmes is lower
than its neighbouring countries,
which spend a higher share of
their GDP on human development
and consequently have higher HDI
rankings.

25. Insufficient education, health, and
income indicators:
 Skyrocketing inflation,
 Soaring joblessness, and
 Worsening security
Which will further dampen
economic growth, the attention of
our policy and decision makers is
riveted by a vicious power tussle

27. “With over 20 million school-age
children out of school, high levels
of child malnutrition, and low
empowerment of women,
Pakistan’s human capital
challenges are among the most
serious in the world—it is a human
capital crisis that is profound,
silent and with far reaching
negative effects on the potential
of the country and its people,”
