 0     life_expectancy_index grapher/ahdi/2023-09-08/augmented_hdi/augmented_hdi#life_expectancy_index   2 minor           Life expectancy measured as an index between 0 and 1, where 1 is the maximum value of 85 years and 0 is the minimum value of 20 years. Life expectancy is defined as the average number of years of life which would remain for males and females reaching the ages specified if they continued to be subjected to the same mortality experienced in the year(s) to which these life expectancies refer. As social variables (longevity and education) have upper and lower bounds (unlike GDP per head that has not known upper bound), they are transformed non-linearly in order to allow for two main facts: that increases of the same absolute size represent greater achievements the higher the level at which they take place, and those quality improvements are associated to increases in quantity. Thus, I = f (x, Mo, M) = (log (M – Mo) – log (M – x)) / log (M – Mo), Where $I$ is the dimension index, $x$ is an indicator of a country’s standard of living, $M$ and $Mo$ are the maximum and minimum values, respectively, or goalposts, that facilitate comparisons over time and log stands for the natural logarithm. The index for each dimension ranges between 0 and 1. Goalposts are set for human development’s different dimensions. For life expectancy at birth, the maximum and the minimum values were established at 85 and 20 years, respectively.
