which indicators are taken into consideration for measuring hdi using the new method?
life expectancy, knowledge and education, standard of living
the human development index (hdi) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. a country scores higher hdi when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the gdp per capita is higher. there is a strong inverse correlation between the hdi and the fertility rate of the population: the higher the hdi, the lower the fertility rate. as of 2016, the countries with the highest fertility rate are burundi, mali, somalia, uganda, burkina faso, zambia, malawi, angola, and afghanistan; while most high-income countries have sub-replacement fertility rates. this is part of the fertility-income paradox, as these high fertility countries are very poor, and it may seem counter-intuitive for families there to have so many children. the inverse relationship between income and fertility has been termed a "demographic-economic "paradox"" by the notion that greater means would enable the production of more offspring as suggested by the influential thomas malthus.
