List of Mexican states by Human Development Index
The following list sorts the states of Mexico according to their Human Development Index .
The Human Development Index is a method to calculate the development status of a country or a region. The HDI not only takes into account the gross national income per capita, but also life expectancy and the duration of training based on the number of school years a 25-year-old has completed and the expected duration of a child's education at school age. The HDI was essentially developed by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq , who worked closely with the Indian economist Amartya Sen and the British economist and politician Meghnad Desai .
Calculation method
As of the Human Development Report 2010, the three dimensions are calculated as follows:
- Life expectancy index: life expectancy at birth (LE)
- Education index: Average school attendance (DSD) and expected school attendance (VSD) in years
- Standard of living : Gross National Income (GNI) per capita (GNIpk), PPP US $
- Life Expectancy Index (LEI)
- Education Index (BI)
- 2.1. Average School Attendance Index (DSDI)
- 2.2. Estimated School Attendance Index (VSDI)
- Income Index (EI)
Finally, the HDI is calculated as a geometric mean from the three dimensions:
LE: life expectancy at birth
DSD: Average duration of school attendance (number of years that a person aged 25 or older has attended school)
VSD: Estimated length of school attendance (number of years a 5-year-old child will likely go to school)
BNEpk: Gross national income per capita adjusted for purchasing power in US dollars
States according to HDI
All 31 Mexican states and the capital district according to the development of their Human Development Index from 1995 to 2015. A country with a similar Human Development Index in the same year is also given as a comparison value. With a value of 0.762, Mexico was ranked 77th in the Human Development Index, making it one of the countries with high levels of human development. The capital district of Mexico City was the most developed. This was followed mainly by the federal states in the north of the country. The least developed countries, on the other hand, were in the south of the country.
