The human development index (HDI) developed by the United Nations Development Programme is computed as the average of three equally weighted outcome measures: life expectancy (LI), educational attainment (EI) and income (WI). However, this computational process is independent of the resources being devoted by each country to the achievement of the three outcome levels. Hence, it is conceivable ...

backgroundseveral studies have examined the relationship between human development index (hdi) and various health outcomes. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hdi, and infant mortality rate, mortality rate of children under one year and under 5 years, maternal mortality rate, and total fertility rate.materials and methodsin this ecologic study, data on hdi, total ...

The Human Development Index (HDI) is part of the development goals, high HDI not easy to achieve, it takes seriousness government allocate budgets in education sector and health expenditures. Per capita income also increasing HDI. Central Sulawesi's continues increase from 2015-2019, distribution education, health, per sectors increase. purpose this study was determine effect expenditure on Sul...

Economic indicators and other indices measuring overall development describe local development trajectories differently. In this paper, we illustrated this difference and explored how urbanization is related to development by a case study in Inner Mongolia, China. We calculated the human development index (HDI) and compared the temporal and spatial dynamics of the overall development (represent...

The Human Development Report for the Arab States in 2002 indicates that the Human Development Index (HDI) for 1998 is estimated to be 0.72, setting the country in the medium level of the HDI category. Although Jordan is a lower middle-income country with a GNP/per capita of US$1,500 (1999 World Development Indicators; World Development Report 2000/2001 World Bank, Washington), poverty is consid...

Background: This study aimed to identify the role of human development index (HDI) in the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer (BC) worldwide. Methods: Data on the age-standardized incidence and mortality rates of BC for 184 countries were obtained from the GLOBOCAN. Data about the HDI and other indices were obtained from the World Bank Report 2013. Linear regression model was used fo...

Human Development Index (HDI) is used by the United Nations Organization to measure socioeconomic achievements of countries. We evaluated the association of HDI with rates and outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with acute leukemia. For the analysis of HSCT rates, all adults with acute leukemia (n = 16 403) treated in 30 European countries, between 2001 and 2...

Abstract Human development is a complex process involving interactions between individuals and their socioeconomic, biological, physical environments. It has been studied using two frameworks: the “Capabilities Approach,” implemented at national scale, “Neighborhood Effects community scale. However, no existing framework conceptualizes measures human across geographic scales. Here, we unite app...
