It introduces the American Human Development Index, which provides a single measure of well-being for all Americans, disaggregated by state and congressional district, as well as by gender, race, and ethnicity. The Index rankings of the 50 states and 436 congressional districts reveal huge disparities in the health, education, and living standards of different groups. Clear, precise, objective, and authoritative, this report will become the basis for all serious discussions concerning the realization of a fair, just, and globally competitive American society.Columbia/SSRC book.Quality of lifeUnited StatesStatisticsSocial indicatorsUnited StatesStatisticsUnited StatesSocial conditions1980-2020StatisticsElectronic books.Quality of lifeSocial indicators306.0973/090511Burd-Sharps Sarah1045608Lewis Kristen1045609Martins Eduardo Borges1045610MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458684603321The measure of America2472037UNINA
