Fuentes-Ramírez Estudios Culturales Economics wellbeing inequality Puerto Rico human development This paper applies the latest methodology from the United Nations Development Programme to approximate Puerto Rico’s Human Development Index (HDI) and Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) for 2012. Results show that Puerto Rico’s HDI places it in the category of very high human development, while the IHDI places it in the category of medium human development. Thus, there is a substantial gap between potential human development and actual human development due to prevailing levels of income inequality on the island. 2014 artículo científico 0008-6533 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39238126012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=392 Caribbean Studies application/pdf Universidad de Puerto Rico Caribbean Studies (Puerto Rico) Num.1 Vol.42 |
