3 Dimensions of Human Development Index

Long and healthy life

 Longevity may seem beyond your control, but many healthy habits may lead
you to a ripe, old age. These include drinking coffee or tea, exercising,
getting enough sleep, and limiting your alcohol intake. Taken together, these
habits can boost your health and put you on the path to a long life. While
both terms relate to the number of living years, they actually define very
different concepts. While the term lifespan refers to the maximum number of
years an individual can live, life expectancy refers to an estimate or an
average number of years a person can expect to live.

Knowledge
 Expected years of schooling are the number of years during which a 2-year-
old child can expect to spend in schooling, based on the school enrolment
rates at a given date. These expected years are calculated as the sum of
enrolment rates observed at the different ages from 2 to 29 years old.

Decent standard of living

 a decent standard of living is a variable of human development index
because  a person having good standard of living means good income, good
health facilities , proper food facilities etc. The standard of living dimension
is measured by gross national income per capita. The HDI uses the logarithm
of income, to reflect the diminishing importance of income with increasing
GNI. The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated
into a composite index using geometric mean
