HDI is a tool used to measure a country’s overall achievement in its social and economic dimensions. We can say that the HDI is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. The HDI is an average measure of basic human development achievements in a country.
