 0     schooling_index grapher/ahdi/2023-09-08/augmented_hdi/augmented_hdi#schooling_index   2 minor           Schooling measured as an index between 0 and 1, where 1 is the maximum value of 15 years and 0 is the minimum value of 0 years. Education attainment is measured by the average years of total schooling (primary, secondary, and tertiary) for the population aged 15 and over. 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 years of schooling, maximum and minimum values were set at 15 and 0.
