Chapter Overview
What if true development wasn't just about how much money a country makes, but about how long and how well its people actually live?
That's the powerful idea behind the Human Development Index (HDI) — a simple yet profound measure that looks beyond GDP to focus on what really matters: health, education, and a decent standard of living.
