Why Do Critics Disagree with How HDI Weighs Life Expectancy?
đź’ˇ The Answer
- Critics argue that an additional year of life expectancy is valued differently between countries.
- This weighting inconsistency can skew country comparisons.
- The criticism is part of broader concerns about factor weighting in the HDI.
- In response, the UNDP introduced the inequality-adjusted HDI (IHDI) in 2010.
