Value of one additional year of life as percent of GNI per capita (VAY), as implied by UNDP (2005, 2010, 2014)

NOTES: Value of one additional year of life as a percent of income per capita (VAY). The value of one additional year of life is the reduction in per capita income required to keep the HDI constant when life expectancy at birth is increased by one year. All HDI countries. HDI formulas used in 2005, 2010, and 2014. Horizontal axis: Log of GNI per capita. Lines show polynomial fits. For 2005, the line is horizontal since the VAY is constant at about 0.1. Data are from UNDP (2016a).
