Which Inequality Dimensions Does the HDI Initially Omit?

💡 The Answer

• The HDI originally omitted distributional and gender inequality.
• Critics noted these omissions limit the index's comprehensiveness.
• In response, UNDP introduced the IHDI in 2010 for distributional inequality.
• Also, the GDI was introduced in 1995 for gender inequality.
• These additions aimed to address the gaps.
