Economic Development Indices Questions
The Health Index (HI) is a measure used in economic development indices to assess the overall health and well-being of a population within a specific region or country. It takes into account various factors such as life expectancy, infant mortality rate, access to healthcare services, prevalence of diseases, and overall healthcare infrastructure.
