对人类发展倡议最常见的批评之一是，它在三个方面没有考虑到国家内部的不平等。在本文中，我们使用一种简单的方法来计算收入分配的三个组成部分和总体HDI。这使得可以将穷人的人类发展水平与国家内的非穷人的水平进行比较，也可以在国家之间进行比较。这是Grimm等人提出的方法的一个应用。(世界发展36(12)：2527-2546,2008)对21个中低收入国家和11个工业化国家进行抽样调查。特别是将工业化国家包括在以前的工作中，意味着要应对我们在本文件中概述的一些额外挑战。我们的结果表明，无论是在发达国家还是工业化国家，各国内部的人类发展不平等程度都很高。事实上，工业化国家最低五分之一的人类发展指数往往低于许多中等收入国家最富有的五分之一的人类发展指数。然而，我们也发现，人类发展水平与人类发展不平等之间存在着强烈的总体负相关关系。
One of the most frequent critiques of the HDI is that is does not take into account inequality within countries in its three dimensions. In this paper, we apply a simply approach to compute the three components and the overall HDI for quintiles of the income distribution. This allows a comparison of the level in human development of the poor with the level of the non-poor within countries, but also across countries. This is an application of the method presented in Grimm et al. (World Development 36(12):2527–2546, 2008) to a sample of 21 low and middle income countries and 11 industrialized countries. In particular the inclusion of the industrialized countries, which were not included in the previous work, implies to deal with a number of additional challenges, which we outline in this paper. Our results show that inequality in human development within countries is high, both in developed and industrialized countries. In fact, the HDI of the lowest quintiles in industrialized countries is often below the HDI of the richest quintile in many middle income countries. We also find, however, a strong overall negative correlation between the level of human development and inequality in human development.
