    Solution

    In the 2010, Human Development Report a further Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) was introduced. The index captures the HDI of the average person in society, which is less than the aggregate HDI when there is inequality in the distribution of health, education and income. Under perfect equality, the HDI and IHDI are equal; the greater the difference between the two, the greater the inequality.
