Welfare is multidimensional as it involves not only income, but also
education, health or labour. The composite indicators of welfare are usually
based on aggregating somehow the information across dimensions and
individuals. However, this approach ignores the relationship between the
dimensions being aggregated. To face this goal, in this paper we analyse
the dependence between the dimensions included in the Human Development
Index (HDI), namely income, health and schooling, through three
copula-based measures of multivariate association: Spearman’s footrule,
Gini’s gamma and Spearman’s rho. We discuss their properties and prove
new results on Spearman’s footrule. The copula approach focuses on the
positions of the individuals across dimensions, rather than the values that
the variables attain for such individuals. Thus, it allows for more general
types of dependence than the linear correlation. We base our study on
data from 1980 till 2014 for the countries included in the 2015 Human
Development Report. We find out that though the overall HDI has increased
over this period, the dependence between its dimensions remains
high and nearly unchanged so that the richest countries tend to be also
the best ranked in both health and education.
