The Human Development Index (HDI), calculated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is a composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: 1) A long and healthy life (measured by life expectancy at birth), 2) Knowledge (measured by mean years of schooling for adults and expected years of schooling for children), and 3) A decent standard of living (measured by Gross National Income per capita in purchasing power parity terms). Access to banking and other financial provisions (C) is not one of the three direct dimensions of the HDI, although financial access is related to standard of living and economic well-being.

HDI focuses on health, education, and income as key indicators of human development.

The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. Other indices, like the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) or indices related to financial inclusion, measure different aspects of development or well-being.
