Calculate a measurement in lumen to a measurement in candela (cd). The candela takes the radiation angle into account, which is measured in steradians (sr). The steradian is the SI unit for a solid angle and is equal to 1/4 pi of the entire sphere. A lumen is equal to 1 candela x steradian.
Jamaica's exchange rate of $93.80 to US$1 may seem high, but there are many countries with higher exchange rates. Guyana's currency is the weakest in the Caribbean at $203.45 to US$1. In spite of this, their economy grew by 5.4 per cent in 2011. Comparatively, Iran has the highest exchange rate in the world of $24,551 to US$1, followed by Somalia $23,000 to US$1, then Vietnam third with an exchange rate of $20,875 to US$1.
It is simply the HDI adjusted downward for gender inequality. The greater the gender disparity in basic human development, the lower is a country's GDI relative to its HDI. Jamaicaâs GDI value, 0.721 should be compared to its HDI value of 0.724. Its GDI value is 99.6% of its HDI value. Out of the 136 countries with both HDI and GDI values, 57 countries have a better ratio than Jamaica's. Table 3 shows how Jamaicaâs ratio of GDI to HDI compares to other countries, and also shows its values for selected underlying values in the calculation of the GDI.
