Australia .929 Mozambique .322
Bangladesh .500

13. HDI
HDI = life expectancy + Education +Income

14. Sustainable Human Development
Achieving Sustainable Human Development requires a balance of:
Good Health- health status, life expectancy, Burden of disease, Morbidity and Mortality Rates
Human Development-Leading productive, creative lives, meeting potential,, expanding choices, more knowledge, access to healthcare, decent standard of living, participating in the life of the community and decisions affecting their lives
