The Human Development Index (HDI) is a ranking created by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to measure countries or regions according to three basic population parameters: health, education and income. It allows us to compare present and past indexes among countries and how progress is made according to these parameters.

For example, using today's parameters, you can find out that during 1975 the United States had an HDI of 0.870, equivalent to present-day Poland. On the same venue, China had an HDI of 0.530 during 1975, equivalent to present-day Haiti. This also allows us to determine that during the following 35 years, China will reach the health, education and income levels of the United States.
