Abstract
The article covers the topic of measuring socio-economic development in sub-Saharan Africa. Popular indices are presented, along with sub-Saharan countries’ results. A relationship between the results of the indices was analyzed using Spearman correlation coefficient and Kendall’s Tau. A strong correlation was observed between Human Development Index and Multidimensional Poverty Index, both of which are indices endorsed by UNDP. No further strong correlation was found.
