Abstract

This study aimed to analytically demonstrate the course of human development index (HDI) of Tur- key between years 1990 and 2011. The data belonging to the components making up the HDI between these years were calculated. In the study, some statistical methods such as unit root test, regression analysis and trend analysis were utilized. According to the results obtained from the study, the education index, health index and income index were on a constant increase trend. The contributions of the indexes studied to HDI were found as 0.364, 0.300 and 0.300 for education index, income index and health index respectively. Given the contribution of the sub-indexes to HDI, it was found that the HDI score and category of Turkey was on an increase trend depending on GDP rise.
