Question

Economy A shows improved literacy, higher life expectancy, and better school enrolment. Economy B shows high per capita income but also high inequality and poor health outcomes. Which development indicator captures BOTH human capability AND inequality-adjustment?

A Human Development Index (HDI) — averages health, education, and income into a composite score
B Gender Inequality Index (GII) — measures gender-based disparities in reproductive health, empowerment, and labour market participation
C Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) — discounts HDI for inequality in each dimension, better reflecting actual human development under distributional inequality
D Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) — captures simultaneous deprivations in health, education, and living standards
