1 answer

The Human Development Index (HDI) measures the following indicators:

  • Education: This is typically assessed through mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling.
  • Gross National Income (GNI): This is adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita.
  • Life Expectancy: This measures the average lifespan of individuals in a country.

The other options, such as industrialization, infrastructure, and stability, are not directly measured by the HDI.

So, the correct indicators are:

  • Education
  • Gross National Income
  • Life Expectancy
