This is alist of countries by inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), as published by theUnited Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in its 2025Human Development Report. According to the 2016 Report, "The IHDI can be interpreted as the level ofhuman development wheninequality is accounted for", whereas theHuman Development Index itself, from which the IHDI is derived, is "an index of potential human development (or the maximum IHDI that could be achieved if there were no inequality)".[1][2]
The index captures the HDI of theaverage (calculated using not arithmetic, but geometric mean) person insociety, which is less than the aggregate HDI when there is inequality in the distribution ofhealth, education and income. Under perfect equality, the HDI and IHDI are equal; the greater the difference between the two, the greater the inequality.
The IHDI, estimated for the world and specific countries, captures the losses in human development due toinequality in health, education and income. Losses in all three dimensions vary across countries, ranging from just a few percent (e.g.Czech Republic andSlovenia) up to over 40% (e.g.Angola andComoros). Overall loss takes into account all three dimensions.[3]
Comparison between these two maps show low efficacy in showing a difference between IHDI and HDI.
The table below ranks countries according to their inequality-adjusted human development index (IHDI). Data is based on 2023 estimates.
