What are the limitations of the IHDI?
The IHDI captures the inequality in distribution of the HDI dimensions. However, it is not association sensitive, i.e., it does not account for overlapping inequalities -whether the same people experience r multiple deprivations. Also, the individual values of indicators such as income can be zero or even negative they have been adjusted to non-negative non-zero values uniformly across countries. The estimated inequality is sensitive to the approach we have taken.
