IB Economics HL 4.8.3 Composite development indicators
Students practise identifying HDI, IHDI and Happy Planet Index components from data tables or text paragraphs—and explaining ranking discrepancies using composite index logic.
How this is tested
- list two bolded components of HDI, IHDI or Happy Planet Index directly from Table/Text references
- explain why HDI and GNI rankings differ because HDI includes non-income outcomes
- compare HDI data across countries to assess relevance for development beyond income
