Discussion
The index with different features of deprivation in the quality of life to arrive at an aggregate judgement on the extent of poverty in a community is called _________ .
Answer: B
The index is the Human Poverty Index.
The Human Poverty Index, introduced by the UNDP in its 1997 Human Development Report, combined measures of deprivation in a long and healthy life, in knowledge and in a decent standard of living to give an aggregate picture of poverty in a community.
The Human Development Index measures average achievement rather than deprivation, the Human Freedom Index measures personal and economic freedom, and 'Human Deprivation Index' is not the name of the UNDP index.
