Which of the following is not a dimension of Human Development Index (HDI) ?
Answer: D
The dimension that is not part of the HDI is Equality.
The UNDP's Human Development Index combines three dimensions: a long and healthy life, measured by life expectancy at birth (longevity); knowledge, measured by mean and expected years of schooling; and a decent standard of living, measured by gross national income per head. The index is the geometric mean of the three normalised indices.
Longevity, knowledge and a decent standard of living are therefore all dimensions of the HDI. Equality is not one of them: the UNDP accounts for inequality in separate measures, the inequality-adjusted HDI and the Gender Inequality Index, which is why the other options are wrong answers to a question asking what is not a dimension.
