The table below provides relevant indicators for two countries. Madagascar 65.5 Relevant Measures Life expectancy at birth Mean years of schooling Expected years of schooling GNP per capita (PPPS) Under-5 mortality rate (per 1,000) Political and civic freedoms (aggregate score) Social safety and security 6.1 10.3 1,320 49.6 56 2.243 Equatorial Guinea 57.9 5.5 9.2 21,517 94.1 8 2.424 i. Use the information from the table to calculate the HDI and NHDI¹ (use default maximum and minimum values for each index as stated in the textbook) for each country. [Clearly show all workings]. ii. What can you say if you compare the traditional measure (PCI) to the modern measure of development (NHDI) for each country? iii. How do the resulting NHDI scores and additional measures illustrate a possible weakness of the NHDI as a measure of choice/capabilities/freedoms? Provide necessary references if needed The table below provides relevant indicators for two countries.
