  • Health: Measured by life expectancy at birth.
  • Education: Measured by a combination of mean years of schooling for adults aged 25 and over and expected years of schooling for children.
  • Standard of living: Measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita (adjusted for purchasing power parity).
