Abstract
El PNUD calcula todos los años el Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH). El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los antecedentes y las perspectivas futuras del desarrollo humano a partir de los datos de este índice durante el periodo 1970-2000. Esto es, comprobar, a partir de los datos pasados, si las diferencias entre el IDH de los países del mundo están aumentando y valorar la tendencia del IDH esperada para los próximos años. En definitiva, se trata de buscar respuesta a la siguiente pregunta ¿cómo se modificarán los niveles de desarrollo humano en el futuro?. Para ello, se utiliza la metodología estadística del análisis dinámico de distribución mediante las cadenas de Markov. The aim of this study is to analyse the previous records and the future evolution of the human development from the IDH between 1970-2000. Every year the IDH is calculated by the PNUD. The outcome of the data derived from the analysis of the records, comparing and checking the growth in the IDH among the countries in the world; as well as assessing the forecast of the IDH trends. In short, the aim is to find the answer to the following question: How will the human development levels be modified in the future?. To achieve so, the statistic methodology of Markov Chains is applied.
