The Human Development Index (HDI) is a way to measure how well countries are doing in terms of helping their people live good lives. It looks at three main things: how long people live, how much education they get, and how much money they earn. Each country gets a score between 0 and 1, with numbers closer to 1 meaning a higher level of human development. HDI helps us compare different countries to see which ones are providing better lives for their citizens. It's important because it shows more than just economic growth; it also considers people's health and education, giving a fuller picture of how developed a country is.
