[GNP adjusted for purchasing power parity. Assume Rs. 45 (Indian) exchanges for $US1. A
dollar exchanged for 45 Indian rupees will buy you much more rice or rattan chairs in India
than that dollar buys you in the US. US GNP is not 15 times what India’s is but only 3.6 times
if you consider what income can buy in India.]

Human poverty index (HPI-2) - The components of the index, different than the
developing countries’ HPI-1, are the percentage of the population lacking functional literacy
skills, the percentage below a 1994 income poverty line of PPP$11 daily, and the probability at
birth of not surviving to age 60 (UN Development Program 2002a:21, 160-161)
HDI does not capture the adverse effect of gender disparities on social progress. In 1995,
the United Nations Development Program measured the gender-related development index
(GDI), or HDI adjusted for gender inequality. GDI concentrates on the same variables as HDI,
but notes inequality in achievement between men and women, imposing a penalty for such
inequality. The GDI is based on female shares of earned income, the life expectancy of women
relative to men (allowing for the biological edge that women enjoy in living longer than men),
and a weighted average of female literacy and schooling relative to those of males. However,
GDI does not include variables not easily measured such as women's participation in community
life and decision-making, their access to professional opportunities, consumption of resources
within the family, dignity, and personal security. Because gender inequality exists in every
country, the GDI is always lower than the HDI. (UN Development Program 1991:72-79; UN
Development Program 2002:222-42; 255-58). Copyright E. Wayne Nafziger
