"The world has seen dramatic, global human progress across a broad range of
indicators in recent decades, but have those gains been widely shared? The
Inequality of Human Progress Index (IHPI) measures relative gaps in global
development. It surveys international inequality across a greater number of
dimensions than any prior index. By analyzing inequality in a multidimensional
way, the IHPI takes inequality more seriously than those indexes that focus on
income inequality alone. The IHPI considers material well‐being and seven
additional metrics: lifespan, infant mortality, adequate nutrition,
environmental safety, access to opportunity (as measured by education), access
to information (as measured by internet access), and political freedom. Across
all but two of those dimensions, the world has become more equal since 1990.
Globalization and market liberalization over the past few decades have not only
raised absolute living standards but also reduced overall inequality."
