Human Development Index Ranking (Quantitative)

# data[].attributes.body
Description of data
Measures human development value by analysing life expectancies, years of schooling, and gross national income.

Depending on human development value, given a ranking out of the countries around the world

What the data suggests about well-being:

Australia was ranked 8th with a HDI value of 0.944, suggesting it has high levels of well-being

India was ranked 131st with a HDI value of 0.645, suggesting it has low levels of well-being

The higher the gross national income/years of schooling/life expect = greater well-being

Internal Factors:

Supply of basic needs & necessities (food, water, etc.)

Number of schools/access to a good education

External Factors:

TNCs (transnational companies) increase the amount of jobs available in a country, raising the gross national income

Description of data
Measures sustainable wellbeing & tells us how well nations are doing at achieving long, happy sustainable lives.

Given a score based on factors to do with well-being (the higher the score, the higher the levels of well-being)

Depending on score, given a ranking out of 140 nations

What the data suggests about well-being:

Australia was ranked 105th with a score of 21.2, suggesting it has very low levels of well-being

India was ranked 50th with a score of 29.2, suggesting it has low/mid-range levels of well-being

Australia was in the bottom 10 for ecological footprint although was in the top 10 for life expectancy, therefore greater the ecological footprint = longer life expectancy (because typically greater ecological footprints are caused by excessive sourcing of resources)

Internal Factors:

Crime rates (could lower life expectancy/cause greater inequality)

External Factors:

Demand for resources from other countries may cause excessive sourcing of these resources, leaving a bigger ecological footprint (e.g mines in Australia are sourced from for resources such as iron ores & coal)

Description of data
Graph shows number of deaths of children under 5 years old.

Dark red = High child mortality rates

Light yellow = Low child mortality rates

What the data suggests about well-being:

Australia has low child mortality rates of approximately 0 child deaths a year, suggesting well-being is high/higher

India has high child mortality rates of around 5 million child deaths a year, suggesting well-being is very low/lower

Internal Factors:

Australia has various facilities at primary health centres that  specialise in preventing child mortality

India has a shortage of transport to urban hospitals

External Factors:

Commodity prices falling could decrease the country's money put to healthcare

Description of data
Graph shows period life expectancy of countries across the globe.

Starting from dark red with low life expectancy, goes through the rainbow to purple with high life expectancy

What the data suggests about well-being:

Australia has a life expectancy over 85 years of age, suggesting well-being is high/higher

India has a life expectancy of approximately 70 years of age, suggesting well-being is high

The longer the life span expectancy in a country, the higher the levels of well-being

Internal Factors:

India has the second highest population in the world, & with such a large population, resources in the country are falling behind the amount of people they’re able to support

Government expenditure on health in 2019-2020 in Australia was estimated to be $81.8 billion

External Factors:

The Indo-Pakistani wars would’ve greatly affected the lives/life expectancies of both countries

Transnational companies like BP & Healthscope set up in Australia increase money flow in the country to help support lives

Description of data
Graph shows human development in regions around the world.

Dark green means high levels of human development (e.g. Canada)

Light green means low levels of human development (e.g. South Sudan)

What the data suggests about well-being:

Australia has high levels of human development, scoring 1, suggesting well-being is high

India has mid-range levels of human development, scoring 0.6, suggesting well-being is at mid-range/lower

More developed a country is = higher levels of well-being

Internal Factors:

Australia has better access to a good education than most countries

India’s funding is drained by their military due to the country’s political instability

External Factors:

Australia gains large earnings from exports

Threat of rising interest rates
