Which of the following indicators is NOT used to calculate Human Development Index (HDI)?

Verified Answer
A. Life Expectancy
B. Education
C. Per Capita Income
D. Social Inequality

Explanation:

The Human Development Index (HDI) is calculated based on three basic dimensions: a long and healthy life (measured by life expectancy at birth), knowledge (measured by mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and a decent standard of living (measured by Gross National Income per capita). Social inequality is not a direct component of the HDI, although it is measured by other indices like the Inequality-adjusted HDI (IHDI).
