growth and achievements in human development. The first of these is health
for the country’s people. This is measured by life expectancy at birth and
those with higher life expectancies rank higher than those with lower life
expectancies. The second dimension measured in the HDI is a country’s
overall knowledge level as measured by the adult literacy rate combined
11. with the gross enrollment ratios of students in primary school through the
university level. The third and final dimension in the HDI is a country’s
standard of living. Those with higher standards of living rank higher than
those with lower standards of living. This dimension is measured with the
gross domestic product per capita in purchasing power parity terms,
based on United States dollars.
