Abstract:
Specialist’s preoccupation concerning the quantification of the human
development through synthetic indexes has been materialized during time in a
series of composite indexes, whose methodology was permanently reconsidered
from the meaning of quantify more correctly and rigorously the contribution of
each involved factor. One of the most known synthetic indexes is the Human
Development Index (HDU), which starting with 2010 has suffered important
methodological changes. The paper present briefly these methodological changes
and emphasize their influence both of the IDU level and of countries classification.
It’s also present the evolution of the HDI in Romania in comparison with other
European countries, for the period 1980 – 2010, calculated both in the old and in
the new variant. The data emphasize the fact that even the new methodology
brings us a better rank, Romania is still situated near to the end of classification
between the UE countries.
