| Abstract: | The United Nations Development Program has introduced a composite index—the Human Development Index (HDI)—as a measure to replace GDP for assessing development of countries, using life expectancy, adult literacy, and adjusted per capita GDP as indicators. In this paper the authors suggest an alternative method for computing the index utilizing the same criteria. |
