Inequality poverty how does it affect on HDI?

It affects HDI because the HDI is made up of Living standard, life expectancy, and literacy rates. So if the countries are poor they won't have all the basic needs to life a sustainable life style and won't make there kids go to school and also with bad living standard comes lower average of life expectancy. So when these gets affected by poverty the HDI ranking goes completely down.

What is the relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and the Human Development Index (HDI)?

* It's very difficult for any people or government to achieve gains in all areas of life, so there is a balance between GDP and HDI. * Countries that spend more on factors that improve HDI ratings will most often have GDPs that are somewhat lower than other developed nations. * GDP helps HDI, but there is a point where the pursuit of wealth at all costs will impact HDI.

What are pros and cons of HDI?

The advantages of using HDI is that since the HDI is a composite index (uses more than one measurement), the results are much more well rounded than just using, say, GNI per capita. Development involves more than just economical factors, so the fact that the HDI includes education and standard of living makes it more well-rounded. The disadvantages can be that although the HDI is more well rounded, it still doesn't take into consideration other important things like gender equality, and for instance, Saudi Arabia scores high on the HDI because of their affluence but does not consider how disparate gender is. Also, the HDI measurement doesn't consider the differences in development within a country.
