The aim of our study is to prepare a new human
development index including income distribution justice. For this purpose, the
human development index (HDI) prepared by the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP) and the Gini coefficient are combined. In this way, it is aimed
to calculate and rank the human development of countries in a more realistic
way. For the HDI prepared by UNDP, it uses three indicators covering the
education, health and income dimensions of the countries. However, since the
income distribution justice is not included in this calculation, the
development rankings do not fully reflect economic reality. In our study,
income distribution justice dimension was included in three indicators of HDI.
The human development index calculated with 189 countries for 2017 was
recalculated by including the Gini coefficient data of all countries. When we
apply the Human Development Index Containing Gini HD (HDIG) that we derived in
our study, the human development rankings of all the other countries except for
13 countries changed substantially. With this study, a new index is obtained by
revising and developing HDI. This study proposes the use of a new human
development index which demonstrates the extent to which income distribution
justice affects the development levels of countries.
