Answer: HDI measures human development, while GDP measures economic development.

Briefly: GDP (or GNI/GDP per capita) is an economic output/income measure. HDI is a composite index of human development that combines health (life expectancy), education (years of schooling) and standard of living (GNI per capita), so it captures broader social outcomes as well as an economic component.
