CEVAP:

1. The HDI index does not distinguish
between different rates of development
within a country such as between urban
and traditional rural communities.
2. Giving equal weight to the three main
components is rather arbitrary.
3. Development is largely about freedom, but
the index does not directly measure this.
4. It uses GDP per capita, but there is no
indication of the distribution of income in
the country.
5. The HDI excludes many aspects of
economic and social life that could be
regarded as contributing to or constraining
development, such as crime, corruption,
poverty, deprivation, and negative
externalities.
