Human Capital Index Calculator

The Human Capital Index Calculator helps you assess the economic value of a population's human capital by combining human development and economic capacity.

Input Parameters

HDI ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 is the highest possible HDI.

Total economic output of the population in USD.

Total number of people in the population.

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

HCI = (HDI × Economic Capacity) / Total Population

Where:
HCI: Human Capital Index
HDI: Human Development Index
Economic Capacity: Total economic output in USD
Total Population: Total number of people

Result

--

The Human Capital Index value ranges from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate greater economic value per person.

What is the Human Capital Index (HCI)?

The Human Capital Index (HCI) is a metric used to assess the economic value of a population's human capital. It combines the Human Development Index (HDI), which measures health, education, and income, with the economic capacity of the population.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Human Development Index (HDI) (a value between 0 and 1).
  2. Enter the Economic Capacity in USD.
  3. Enter the Total Population.
  4. Click the Calculate button to compute the HCI.

Interpreting the Results

The HCI value ranges from 0 to 1. A higher HCI indicates a greater economic value per person, suggesting a more productive and valuable workforce. This index helps policymakers understand the economic impact of investments in education, health, and other human development areas.

Example

Suppose a country has an HDI of 0.8, an economic capacity of $1,000,000,000, and a population of 1,000,000. The HCI would be calculated as:

(0.8 × $1,000,000,000) / 1,000,000 = $800,000

This means the economic value per person is $800,000.
