Human Develop Index

Every year since 1990, human development index has been published by the Human Development Report Office. This index measures three important factors of human development. These factors include life expectancy, literacy rates, and purchasing power parity. It does not however include important factors such as gender, income, political freedoms, or human rights. This index is very helpful in tracking the progress oh human development along with the relationship between income and well-being.
The HDI was created to reflect those simple three factors of human development. Measurement issues and methods of collecting data have led to some problems in the past but are being worked out. For this reason there are is still many gaps in the data collected for even basics areas of human development. For a country to be included in their measurements, data needs to be available for a reliable source for all the factors that contribute into the index calculations. For many counties data is missing for at least one and if not more of the factors that determines the human development rate.
The HDI index than classifies the countries into high human development, medium development, and low development. There are very distinct patters of HDI across the world. Due to this statics, most of the high human development is associated with more developed countries. Countries from Europe and the United States are placed under the high human development column. Also the majority of least developed countries are placed in the low human development range.
Most of Sub-Saharan Africa is classified as low human development. I think that the main reason for this is due the statics of being the country with the highest rate of AIDs. AIDs are consuming the lives of many of its citizens leading to a low life expectancy rate.
Another factor is that most of Sub-Saharan Africa is very poor and cannot afford school. Many of the families are blessed with lots of children. The parents can't afford to send all of them to school and the children are need for labor for their family farms. Due to these large families wealth is sparse to feed that many mouths. This leads to a low PPP, which is also one of the factors determining the human development rate.
Many of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa is very more and in need of help. The citizens are great suffering from AIDs and need to be educated. This is a controversial issue that we need to be aware of and try our best to help. We are blessed with a high human development and it is our responsibility to share with those who are less fortunate and in need of our help.
