- Abstract
In this article, the author comments on the inclusion of sustainability in the Human Development Index (HDI) of the United Nations (UN) to promote the development of responsibility among nations. The author says that even though the index deals on the quality of life in a country, it fails to tackle the liability of the said development. He notes that his country, Mongolia will be one of the fastest developing economies in the world, however the HDI does not inspire for it to grow sustainably.
