This study examined home environment conditions (housing quality, material resources, formal and informal learning materials) and their relations with the Human Development Index (HDI) in 28 developing countries. Home environment conditions in these countries varied widely. The quality of housing and availability of material resources at home were consistently tied to HDI; the availability of formal and informal learning materials a little less so. Gross domestic product (GDP) tended to show a stronger independent relation with housing quality and material resources than life expectancy and education. Formal learning resources were independently related to the GDP and education indices, and informal learning resources were not independently related to any constituent indices of the overall HDI.
本研究考察了 28 个发展中国家的家庭环境条件(住房质量、物质资源、正式和非正式学习材料)及其与人类发展指数(HDI)的关系。这些国家的家庭环境条件差异很大。住房质量和家庭物质资源的可获得性与人类发展指数密切相关;正式和非正式学习材料的可获得性则稍差一些。国内生产总值(GDP)与住房质量和物质资源的关系比预期寿命和教育更为密切。正式学习资源与 GDP 和教育指数有独立的关系,而非正式学习资源与人类发展指数的任何组成部分都没有独立的关系。
