Estimates of the National Human Security Index Chapter: 10 ESTIMATES OF THE NATIONAL HUMAN SECURITY INDEX The previous chapters have focused on the quantification of indices at the second and third levels. The objective of this chapter is to aggregate these indices to obtain the estimate of the Human Security Index(HSI) at the national level since 2001-02. 10.1 Number of Indicators Construction of the national HSI has involved estimation of 87 indicators at the third level, as shown earlier in Table 4.1. Multiple sources of data have been accessed, both national and international. The outcome is a very comprehensive HSI. 10.2 Estimates of National HSI The four dimensions of HSI in the form of freedom from‘fear,’ freedom from‘want,’ freedom from‘inequality’, and governance are aggregated in Table 10.1 to yield the national HSI.
