Final answer:
The statement is true; a country with significant disparities in income, education, and health care access will have a lower IHDI, which reflects inequalities, compared to a nation with minimal differences in these areas.
Step-by-step explanation:
True, according to the UN, a country where only a few people have high incomes, college degrees, and good health care would indeed have a lower Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) than a country where differences in income, level of education, and access to health care are minimal.
The IHDI adjusts the Human Development Index (HDI) for inequality in distribution of each dimension across the population. In countries where only a minority enjoy high standards of living, education, and health, the IHDI is lower to reflect the inequalities.
On the contrary, in countries with less disparity, more evenly distributed health care services and education, as well as more uniform income levels, the IHDI will typically be higher, indicating a more equal society.
