Human Devlopment Index or HDi measures the well - being of a countries people Both Growth and Development refer to changes over a period of time:-
Growth:-
Quantitative and neutral change.
Positive or a negative .
Development:-
Qualitative change which is value positive.
Development occurs when positive growth takes place
HDI emphasizes that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone.
HDI measures average achievement of a country in three basic dimensions of human development:
A long and healthy life,
Access to knowledge, and
A decent standard of living.

Studying development is about measuring how developed one country is compared to other countries, or to the same country in the past. Development measures how economically, politically, socially, culturally or technologically advanced a country is. There are a few indices and economic development indicators to measure development.
these slides are according to Pakistan HDI and covering the aspects and some important details of HDI.
Little bit description and introduction of HDI as well.
The Human Development Index is is a composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development that tracks progress in providing a long and healthy life, improved knowledge and a decent standard of living.

A Metaindex of Development (MoD)
Marco Morosini, ETH Zurich
DRAFT - 2008
To be submitted to Social Indicators Research Abstract
A Metaindex of Development (MoD) for the 30 OECD countries was obtained through the country average rank in ten established international indices covering themes associated with development in industrialized countries: people and ecosystem wellbeing, human development, economic competitiveness, economic freedom, economic equality, information technology, environmental sustainability, gender gap, press freedom, corruption perception. The Metaindex answers the question: when development or relevant elements of it are measured, which OECD countries are more often in the top, in the middle or in the bottom ranks?
Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Netherlands, Australia and Ireland are the top ten countries in the Metaindex ranking in 2006. These countries have a small population (10 millions in average) and seven of them are thinly populated. Compared with the next twenty countries, they have in average the lowest worldwide levels of corruption and the highest levels of press freedom, taxation, environmental stewardship and diffusion of information technology. Eight of the top ten countries rank in the top ten positions in the OECD ranking of satisfaction with life. G8 countries are in the middle of the Metaindex ranking, with Canada best placed (8) and Italy worst (25). The two best correlating rankings with the Metaindex ranking are those of the Corruption Perception Index (0.931), which appears to be the best proxy for development in the OECD countries, and of satisfaction with life (0.866).
Key words: development, metaindex, composite indicators, indices, OECD
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a
composite statistic of life expectancy, education,
and income per capita indicators, which are
used to rank countries into four tiers of human
development. A country scores higher HDI when
the life expectancy at birth is longer, the
education period is longer, and the income per
capita is higher.
3. HISTORY
The origins of the HDI are found in the annual
Development Reports of the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP). These were
devised and launched by Pakistani economist
Mahbub ul Haq in 1990 and had the explicit
purpose "to shift the focus of development
economics from national income accounting to
people-centered policies". To produce the
Human Development Reports, Mahbub ul Haq
formed a group of development economists
including Paul Streeten, Frances Stewart,
Gustav Ranis, Keith Griffin, Sudhir Anand, and
Meghnad Desai. Working alongside Nobel
laureate Amartya Sen, they worked on
capabilities and functions that provided the
underlying conceptual framework.
4. Haq was sure that a simple composite measure of human
development was needed in order to convince the public,
academics, and politicians that they can and should evaluate
development not only by economic advances but also
improvements in human well-being. Sen initially opposed this
idea, but he soon went on to help Haq develop the Index. Sen
was worried that it was going to be difficult to capture the full
complexity of human capabilities in a single index, but Haq
persuaded him that only a single number would shift the
immediate attention of politicians from economic to human
well-being.
5. Dimensions of Human Development
Index
Published on 4 November 2010 (and updated on 10
June 2011), the 2010 Human Development Report(HDI)
combines three dimensions:
• A long and healthy life: Life expectancy at birth
• Education index: Mean years of schooling and
Expected years of schooling
• A decent standard of living: GNI per capita (PPP US$)
6. Calculation of Human Development
Index
Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = LE-20/85-20
LEI is 1 when Life expectancy at birth is 85 and 0
when Life expectancy at birth is 20.
LE: Life Expectancy at Birth
7. Education Index(EI)= MYSI+EYSI/2
1.Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI)= MYS/15
(Fifteen is the projected maximum of this indicator for
2025.)
2.Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI)= EYS/ 18
(Eighteen is equivalent to achieving a master’s degree
in most countries.)
MYS: Mean years of schooling (Years that a person 25 years-of-age or older
has spent in schools)
EYS: Expected years of schooling (Years that a 5-year-old child will spend in
schools throughout his life)
9. Finally, the HDI is the geometric mean of
the previous three normalized indices:
10. Geographical coverage of HDI
The HDI has extended its geographical coverage:
David Hastings, of the United Nations Economic
and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific,
published a report geographically extending the
HDI to 230+ economies, whereas the UNDP HDI
for 2009 enumerates 182 economies and
coverage for the 2010 HDI dropped to 169
countries
11. Past Top Countries
The list below displays the top-ranked country from each
year of the Human Development Index. Norway has been
ranked the highest twelve times, Canada eight times,
followed by Japan which has been ranked highest three
times. Iceland has been ranked highest twice.

1992- Canada
1993- Japan
1994-2000- Canada
2001-2006- Norway
2007-2008- Iceland
2009-2015- Norway
12. CRITICISM
The Human Development Index has been criticized on a
number of grounds including alleged ideological biases
towards egalitarianism and so-called "Western models of
development", failure to include any ecological
considerations, lack of consideration of technological
development or contributions to the human civilization,
focusing exclusively on national performance and ranking,
lack of attention to development from a global
perspective, measurement error of the underlying
statistics, and on the UNDP's changes in formula which
can lead to severe misclassification in the categorization
of 'low', 'medium', 'high' or 'very high' human
development countries.
13. Economists Hendrik Wolff, Howard Chong and Maximilian
Auffhammer discuss the HDI from the perspective of data
error in the underlying health, education and income statistics
used to construct the HDI.They identified three sources of
data error which are due to (i) data updating, (ii) formula
revisions and (iii) thresholds to classify a country’s
development status and conclude that 11%, 21% and 34% of
all countries can be interpreted as currently misclassified in
the development bins due to the three sources of data error,
respectively. The authors suggest that the United Nations
should discontinue the practice of classifying countries into
development bins because - they claim - the cut-off values
seem arbitrary, can provide incentives for strategic behavior in
reporting official statistics, and have the potential to misguide
politicians, investors, charity donors and the public who use
the HDI at large.
14. In 2010 the UNDP reacted to the criticism and updated
the thresholds to classify nations as low, medium, and
high human development countries. In a comment to The
Economist in early January 2011, the Human
Development Report Office responded to a January 6,
2011 article in the magazine which discusses the Wolff et
al. paper. The Human Development Report Office states
that they undertook a systematic revision of the methods
used for the calculation of the HDI and that the new
methodology directly addresses the critique by Wolff et
al. in that it generates a system for continuous updating
of the human development categories whenever formula
or data revisions take place.
