Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
HDI(Human Development Index) is a better indicator than National Income because:
  • An increase in per capita income can be due to modern capital-intensive technology that adversely affects the poor.
  • Unequal distribution of per capita income makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
  • Per capita income ignores non-material things like happiness index, security, health, literacy, etc.
  • On the other hand, HDI(Human development index) not only focuses on economic aspects but involves all the things that are integral to the development of a country.
