The education dimension of the HDI considers mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and adult literacy rate.
- Mean years of schooling is the average number of years of schooling completed by people aged 25 and older.
- Expected years of schooling is the number of years of schooling that a child entering primary school can expect to complete.
- Adult literacy rate is the percentage of people aged 15 and older who can read and write.
These three indicators are used to measure the level of education in a country. A high level of education is associated with a number of benefits, including higher incomes, better health, and greater social cohesion.
