The Human Development Index is calculated by combining the life expectancy index, the education index and the GINI index.
Countries are grouped into four categories based on their HDI score.
Very high human development: 0.800 and above
High human development: 0.700-0.799
Medium human development: 0.550-0.699
Low human development: Below 0.550
The Human Development Index (HDI) of the United Kingdom has increased from in 1990 to by 2023, indicating that the UK has reached very high levels of human development. HDI is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over 0.800 are considered to have very high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower.
