The HDI and its components are examined critically with respect to accuracy, sensitivity, and discriminant power. Differential implications for evaluating a particular project or regulation are derived, suggesting some ways to improve the HDI. It is concluded that the HDI is potentially a powerful instrument for world social development and bears examination for validity and consistency with public objectives.
