本文提出了一种方法，将收入，教育和寿命的分配不平等的关注纳入人类发展指数（HDI）的框架，因为它是目前由联合国开发计划署设计的。本文构建了一组20个发展中国家的基尼系数，衡量年收入，教育程度和寿命达到的不平等。这些计算结果与人类发展指数的数据相结合，产生了不平等调整后的人类发展指数。这一拟议的指数的影响，评估和促进发展被认为是。(C)1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
This paper proposes a method to incorporate a concern for distributional inequalities of income, education, and longevity into the framework of the Human Development Index (HDI), as it is presently designed by the United Nations Development Programme. The paper constructs Gini coefficients, for a set of 20 developing countries, measuring inequalities in annual income, educational attainment, and life-span attainment. These calculations are combined with data from the HDI to produce an Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index (IAHDI). The implications of this proposed index for evaluating and promoting development are considered. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
