Izwe lithola izinga eliphakeme le-HDI uma isikhathi sokuphila siphakeme, izinga lemfundo liphakeme, futhi umholo kazwelonke ophelele (i-GNI (PPP) ngomuntu ngamunye uphakeme. Yasungulwa isazi sezomnotho sasePakistan uMahbub ul Haq futhi yaqhubeka isetshenziselwa ukukala intuthuko yezwe yiHuman Development Report Office ye-United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Lolu hlu lusekelwe endleleni yokuthuthukiswa komuntu, eyasungulwa uMahbub ul Haq, esekelwe emsebenzini ka-Amartya Sen mayelana namakhono abantu, futhi ngokuvamile uhlelwe ngokwemibandela yokuthi abantu bayakwazi yini "ukuba" futhi "benze" izinto ezifiselekayo ekuphileni. Izibonelo zihlanganisa <unk> ukuba: ondliwe kahle, onendawo yokuhlala, futhi onempilo; ukwenza: umsebenzi, imfundo, ukuvota, ukubamba iqhaza empilweni yomphakathi. Inkululeko yokuzikhethela ibalulekile <unk> umuntu okhetha ukulamba (isib. lapho ezila ukudla ngenxa yezizathu zenkolo) uhluke kakhulu kumuntu olambile ngoba engakwazi ukuthenga ukudla, noma ngenxa yokuthi izwe libulawa yindlala.  Lolu hlu alunaki izici eziningana, njengengcebo engenayo yomuntu ngamunye noma izinga elilinganayo lezimpahla ezweni. Lesi simo sithambekele ekwehliseni izikhundla zamanye amazwe athuthuke kakhulu, njengamalungu e-G7 namanye.
I-Human Development Index ibuyekeziwe ngo-2010 ngenxa yemikhawulo embalwa.
