How is the SDI calculated?

The SDI (Social Development Index) is calculated by taking into account three main components: income, education, and health. These components are measured using various indicators such as per capita income, literacy rate, school enrollment rate, life expectancy, and infant mortality rate. The SDI is then calculated by combining these indicators and assigning weights to each component based on their importance. The formula for calculating the SDI may vary depending on the specific methodology used by different organizations or researchers.
