standard human development index takes an average in the areas of mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, life expectancy at birth, and gross national income per capita. But it doesn’t account for income inequality! However the UN has published a report that does take income inequality into account and it’s called the IHDI.
It did make a difference to Angola and Zimbabwe who scored relatively high on the standard HDI but fairly low on the IHDI. Tbh it’s a fair better measure. India scored medium on the standard HDI but low on the IHDI due to huge income inequality.
The good news is that on the IHDI there are still plenty of black majority nations that score higher than plenty of Asian, European and Latin American nations such as St Lucia, Jamaica, Barbados, , Gabon among others.
