What captures gender disparity in theadjusted HDI?​

Answer»

Answer:

The IHDI combines a country’s average achievements in health, education and income with how those achievements are distributed among country’s population by “discounting” each dimension’s average value according to its level of INEQUALITY. Thus, the IHDI is distribution-sensitive average level of human DEVELOPMENT. Two COUNTRIES with DIFFERENT distributions of achievements can have the same average HDI value. Under perfect EQUALITY the IHDI is equal to the HDI, but falls below the HDI when inequality rises.
