Presentation
HL ECONOMICS

2. Introduction
• Highly Developed EconomyItaly
• Medium Developed Economy Philippines
• Low Developed EconomyNigeria
• Asian Tiger South Korea

3. Human Development Index
• HDI: provides a composite measure of human
development
– Life expectancy
– Education
– Standard of living

4. Gender Issues: Gender-related
development index
• GDI: measures achievements in the same
indicators as the HDI but captures inequalities
in achievement between women and men

5. Human Poverty Index
• HPI: An alternative measurefocus on the
amount of poverty in a country
• HPI for developing countriesHPI-1
– Adult illiteracy rate
– Probability at birth of not surviving to age 40
– population without sustainable access to an improved
water source and children under weight
• HPI for developed countriesHPI-2
– Probability at birth of not surviving to age 60
– Population below income poverty line
– Rate of long-term unemployment
