  1. New Human Development MeasuresDOHA, 9-11 May, 2011 HDR 2010

  2. HDR 2010 Measures • The main composite measures: • Revised HDI • Inequality-adjusted HDI • Multi-dimensional poverty index(replaces HPI) • Gender inequality index (replaces GDI and GEM)

  3. HDR 2010 Human Development Measures

  4. Inequality-adjusted HDI The country-average HDI conceals wide disparities in distribution of HD across population within a country • False impression: Equal distribution of HD within the country • Inequality in dimensions of HDI • Inequality in concentration of income and other forms of material wealth • Inequality in distribution of other characteristics (e.g., years of education) is often recognized but rarely measured.

  5. Distribution of years of schoolingExample: Montenegro, Source: MICS 2006 Distributions of HDI dimensions Disposable Income, simulated

  6. Expected length of life, from life tables

  7. Inequality-adjusted HDI • Needs for distributional data at the level of household or individual • Variables relevant to three dimension: • Household consumption or income per capita • Mean years of schooling • Expected length of life • Source of data: • Nationally representative household surveys • UN Life tables

  8. Inequality-adjusted HDI Distributional data on life expectancy: • Abridged Life Tables from UN Population Division based on mortality data and on survival models Household survey data on income and education: • World Bank: International Income Distribution Database (LSMS and similar household surveys) • EU-SILC (on income and living conditions for EU member states) • LIS (for OECD and other countries) • MICS, DHS (for education)

  9. Inequality adjusted HDI

  10. Inequality-adjusted HDI

  11. Inequality-adjusted HDI

  12. Inequality-adjusted HDI Example: Slovenia

  13. Inequality-adjusted HDI • Policy relevance: • Allows a direct link to inequalities in dimensions • Inform policies towards inequality reduction • Evaluation tool for various policy options aimed at inequality reduction • Leads to better understanding of inequalities across population and their contribution to the overall loss of development

  14. Inequality-adjusted HDI • Limitations: • IHDI is not association sensitive – does not account for multiple deprivation • Negative and zero values are adjusted • Limited international comparability since data refer to different time points
