Which of the following interventions are likely to raise human development index?

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite index that measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development. These basic dimensions are long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living. The above-mentioned dimensions are measured by the following indicators.

• Long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy at birth
• Knowledge is measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight)
• A decent standard of living is measured by GDP per capita in purchasing Power Parity (PPP) US Dollars

Key Points 

• But we should know that the purpose of its construction is not to give a complete picture of human development rather provide a measure that goes beyond the traditional measurement of development i.e income. Therefore, HDI is a barometer for changes in human well-being and for comparing progress in different regions.

Thus from the above-mentioned points, it is clear that Health and wellness education interventions are likely to raise the human development index.
