Which one of the following is not an indicator of Human Development Index ?
Answer: C
The level of urbanization is not an indicator of the Human Development Index.
The HDI, published by the UNDP since 1990, averages three dimensions: a long and healthy life, measured by life expectancy at birth; knowledge, measured by mean and expected years of schooling; and a decent standard of living, measured by gross national income per capita.
So life expectancy, education and per capita income are all inputs to the index. Urbanization is often associated with development, but it is not one of the HDI's components, and a highly urbanised country can still score poorly on health and education.
