Question

Calculate the Human Development Index forThailand using 2012 (or most recent) data in the UNDP: Human Development Report 2013. Assume the following:

- The highest Life expectancy at birth is 83.6 years (Japan 2012) and the lowest is 20 years.

- The highest mean years of schooling is 13.3 (U.S. 2010) and the lowest is 0.

- The highest expected years of schooling is 18 and the lowest is 0.

- The combined education index is 0.971 (New Zealand 2010)

- the highest GNI per capita (PPP $) is $87,478 (Qatar 2013) and the lowest is 100.

For Thailand

LE = 74.3 years

MYSI = 6.6 years

EYSI = 12.3 years

GNI= $7,722

Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = (LE-20)/(83.6-20)

= 0.85377

Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI) = MYS/13.3

= 0.4962

Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI) = EYS/18

= 0.6833

Education Index(EI) = (?(MYSI*EYSI)/0.951

= 0.50612

Income Index (II) = { ln(GNI)
