How does the HDI reflect poverty rates among different groups?

The Human Development Index (HDI) does not directly reflect poverty rates among different groups. The HDI is a composite measure that takes into account three dimensions of human development: life expectancy, education, and income. It provides a broader picture of overall development and well-being in a country rather than focusing solely on poverty rates. However, the HDI indirectly reflects poverty rates as countries with higher HDI scores generally have lower poverty rates and better living conditions for their population.
