Accepted Answer

The Human Development Index (HDI) is unusual as a measure of national development because it takes into consideration factors beyond economic growth, such as education and healthcare, which contribute to overall quality of life. It also does not solely rely on gross national product or per capita income, which can lead to a skewed view of development if other important factors are not taken into account. Additionally, unlike some measures of development, the HDI does not focus on corporate profit as a measure of a country's success.
