How is the HI calculated?

The Human Development Index (HDI) is calculated by combining three key dimensions of human development: life expectancy at birth, education level (measured by mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and gross national income per capita. These dimensions are then normalized and combined to obtain the HDI value, which ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 representing the highest level of human development.
