Which Two Major Criticisms Did UNDP Address with New Indices?

💡 The Answer

• Critics noted omission of distributional inequality and gender inequality.
• In response, UNDP introduced the inequality-adjusted HDI (IHDI) in 2010.
• UNDP also introduced the Gender Development Index (GDI) in 1995.
• These indices aimed to address the limited factors considered by the original HDI.
