Three of these indicators-poverty rates, infant mortality, and HIV/AIDS prevalence-are measured under the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), to track global progress toward eradicating poverty and improving human well-being. Two other indicators-life expectancy and literacy rates-are elements of UN's Human Development Index (HDI), which measures achievement of development goals related to quality of life. In addition, this table displays the Gini Index, a single number that captures the level of income inequality within a country. Recent international attention to the issue of global poverty through the MDGs and the HDI has lead to a substantial improvement in the quality of these indicators in the past decade.
