The Human Development Index (HDI) is an indicator developed by the UNDP that seeks to quantify a country’s quality of life.[ 1]
Standard of living: Measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in 2021 dollars, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). This indicator reflects a country’s total economic activity, plus income received from abroad (such as remittances or investments), minus capital outflows to other countries. In other words, it represents the average amount of economic resources available per person, taking into account the local cost of living.Education: Measured by years of schooling (both expected and mean).Health: Measured by life expectancy at birth.The HDI ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 represents the highest quality of life and 0 the absolute absence of it. Countries or regions with an HDI of 0.800 or higher are classified as having “very high human development.”
Tables of the Human Development Index of Chilean Regions [ edit | edit source ] Chile leads Latin America with the highest HDI.[ 2] very high human development. That same year, four of its regions became the first in Latin America to attain a Human Development Index exceeding 0.900 points, a level usually reached only by developed countries. According to the latest data, its seven most developed subdivisions rank as the most advanced in the entire region.[ 3]
