Human Development Index of Bengkulu Tengah Regency 2023

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an indicator of development achievements in the quality of human life in society which is structured based on three basic dimensions, namely the dimension of long life and healthy living, the dimension of knowledge, and the dimension of decent living standards. The dimensions of long life and healthy living are represented by the indicator of life expectancy (AHH) at birth. The knowledge dimension is represented by indicators of expected years of schooling (HLS) and average years of schooling (RLS). Meanwhile, the dimension of decent living standards is represented by the adjusted per capita expenditure indicator.

The publication of the 2023 Central Bengkulu Regency Human Development Index was prepared to provide an overview of the development achievements of the quality of life of the community in Bengkulu Tengah Regency 2023. This publication is also presented in the form of a spatial analysis that compares Central Bengkulu Regency with other regencies/cities in Bengkulu Province with the aim of to determine the comparability of human development maps between districts/cities. In this way, it is hoped that it can spur and improve development performance through increasing the basic capacity of the population.
