What is the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI)?

The Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) is a measure that takes into account both the average achievements in terms of human development and the distribution of those achievements among the population. It adjusts the Human Development Index (HDI) by incorporating a measure of inequality, providing a more comprehensive assessment of a country's development by considering not only the overall level of development but also the extent of inequality within a society.
