摘要

This study develops a Human Life Index (HLI) tailored to capture the multifaceted nature of human development across Arab countries, emphasizing the unique social, economic, and health-related challenges they face. Traditional metrics, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), often fall short in representing the nuances of quality of life in this region. Therefore, the HLI incorporates key sub-indices includes: Income Index (II), Education Development Index (EDI), Life Expectancy Index (LEI), and Universal Health Coverage Index (UHCI), to provide a more comprehensive assessment. Findings reveal significant regional disparities, with Gulf nations achieving high scores due to robust healthcare, education, and income infrastructures, while countries affected by conflict and economic instability, like Yemen and Sudan, score low. Regression analysis shows that the EDI significantly effects the HLI, followed by the UHCI, LEI, and II. This suggests that improving education and making sure everyone has access to a full range of high-quality health services could lead to better human development. The study underscores the need for region-specific development indices to guide policymakers in fostering sustainable growth and equitable human development across Arab countries.
