Human Development Index
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling completed and expected years of schooling upon entering the education system), and per capita income indicators, which is used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. A country scores a higher level of HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the gross national income GNI (PPP) per capita is higher.

The Tupi would often attempt to capture their enemies with the intention of using them later in cannibalistic ri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
