Option 2: It uses the per capita GDP of a county on purchasing power parity terms to represent the income component.
Option 3: Birth rate and death rate are important components of the HDI.
Option 4: Life expectancy at birth is one of the components of the HDI.
Correct Answer: Birth rate and death rate are important components of the HDI.
Solution : The correct answer is Birth rate and death rate are important components of the HDI.
The HDI does not include the birth rate and death rate as components. The HDI primarily includes three major components:
-
Life Expectancy at Birth: This component reflects the overall health and longevity of a population and serves as an indicator of the healthcare and public health services in a country.
-
Education: The level of education is represented in the HDI using two sub-components: mean years of schooling for adults aged 25 and older and expected years of schooling for children entering school.
Income: It uses the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) to represent the income component. This provides an estimate of the economic well-being of the population.
