REPRESENTATION OF MODIFIED HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX IN ROMANIA’S AND HUNGARY’S NUTS2 REGIONS
REPRESENTATION OF MODIFIED HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX IN ROMANIA’S AND HUNGARY’S NUTS2 REGIONS

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the development of human resources and quantifies it for the NUTS2 regions of Romania and Hungary. This is done with the help of the much debated Modified Human Development Index (MHDI). This index has been developed by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO) in order to use it for the regions or counties. Theories say that this multidimensional alternative measure expresses best the development of the human elements of a given area. In case of the employment of an area, the development level of those living there plays an important role. That is why this study focuses on this measure. This study is original in a sense that it estimates MHDI for the NUTS2 regions of Romania and Hungary for the year 2004 and 2007. Firstly I am going to introduce the methodology of MHDI, comparison with the HDI. Then I will collect the data and estimate the MHDI values in Romania and Hungary. I am going to represent the values on maps.
