Explanation:

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a measure developed by the United Nations. It was created by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul - Haq. Information used in HDI includes life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and GNI per capita. High - HDI countries include Norway, Switzerland, and Ireland, which are in Europe. A value of 0 on the HDI scale represents very low human development, while 1 represents very high human development. Low - HDI countries like Niger, the Central African Republic, and Chad are in Africa. The HDI was created to provide a more comprehensive view of a country's development than just economic measures, focusing on human well - being.
