What Index Did UNDP Introduce in 2010 to Address Distributional Inequality?

💡 The Answer

• The UNDP introduced the inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) in 2010.
• IHDI accounts for distributional inequality within countries.
• It was a response to criticism that HDI omitted inequality factors.
• IHDI adjusts the HDI for inequalities in health, education, and income.
• This makes IHDI a more nuanced measure of human development.
