Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measure of poverty that includes life expectancy, literacy rates, and years of schooling is called the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI is a composite index that provides a broader view of poverty than just per capita GDP or income. The Gini Coefficient measures income inequality, while the Gender Development Index measures the inequality between men and women in the same dimensions as the HDI. Therefore, the best choice is D, Human Development Index.
