******* had the highest level of the Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide in 2023 with a value of *****. With a score of ****, ****** followed closely behind *********** and had the second-highest level of human development in that year. The rise of the Asian tigers In the decades after the Cold War, the four so-called Asian tigers, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong (now a Special Administrative Region of China) experienced rapid economic growth and increasing human development. At number eight and number 13 of the HDI, respectively, *********************** are the only Asian locations within the top-15 highest HDI scores. Both locations have experienced tremendous economic growth since the 1980’s and 1990’s. In 1980, the per capita GDP of Hong Kong was ***** U.S. dollars, increasing throughout the decades until reaching ****** in 2023, which is expected to continue to increase in the future. Meanwhile, in 1989, Singapore had a GDP of nearly ** billion U.S. dollars, which has risen to nearly *** billion U.S. dollars today and is also expected to keep increasing. Growth of the UAE The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the only Middle Eastern country besides Israel within the highest ranking HDI scores globally. Within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the UAE has the third-largest GDP behind Saudi Arabia and Israel, reaching nearly *** billion U.S. dollars by 2022. Per capita, the UAE GDP was around ****** U.S. dollars in 1989, and has nearly doubled to ****** U.S. dollars by 2021. Moreover, this is expected to reach over ****** U.S. dollars by 2029. On top of being a major oil producer, the UAE has become a hub for finance and business and attracts millions of tourists annually.

Many of the countries at the bottom of the list are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, underlining the prevalence of poverty and low levels of education in the region. Meanwhile, Switzerland had the ******* HDI worldwide.

This dataset was created as a purpose of having a simple data structure to initiate the Analytics studies.

This dataset shows Qatar’s score and ranking in the Human Development Index. The index is a composite measure of health, education, and gross income per capita. It provides an overview of human well-being and is used to classify countries by development level and assess the impact of economic policies.

CONTENT :

Human Development Index (HDI): A composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development—a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living.

Life expectancy at birth: Number of years a newborn infant could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth stay the same throughout the infant’s life.

Expected years of schooling: Number of years of schooling that a child of school entrance age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrolment rates persist throughout the child’s life.

Gross national income (GNI) per capita: Aggregate income of an economy generated by its production and its ownership of factors of production, less the incomes paid for the use of factors of production owned by the rest of the world, converted to international dollars using PPP rates, divided by midyear population.

GNI per capita rank minus HDI rank: Difference in ranking by GNI per capita and by HDI value. A negative value means that the country is better ranked by GNI than by HDI value.

The average for 2023 based on 44 countries was 0.898 points. The highest value was in Iceland: 0.972 points and the lowest value was in Ukraine: 0.779 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Inspiration

Wanted to understand which country leads in what like some countries having huge difference in per capita income between Males and Females

Past Research

Analyzing difference between Male, Female attributes and there impact on GDI

Compared to other African countries, Seychelles scored the highest in the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2022. The country also ranked 67th globally, as one of the countries with a very high human development. This was followed by Mauritius, Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia, with scores ranging from 0.80 to 0.73 points. On the other hand, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Somalia were among the countries in the region with the lowest index scores, indicating a low level of human development.

Context

The Gender Development Index (GDI) is a composite measure designed to assess gender disparities and inequalities in a society by considering factors related to human development. It is an extension of the Human Development Index (HDI) and focuses on three key dimensions: health, education, and income. In the GDI, these dimensions are assessed separately for males and females, allowing for a comparison of gender-based development gaps. Health indicators typically include life expectancy at birth for both genders. Education indicators encompass literacy rates and enrollment in primary, secondary, and tertiary education for both males and females. The income component typically examines income levels and workforce participation for both genders.

A composite index measuring average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development—a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living

Time series data for the statistic Human development index (HDI) and country Sierra Leone. Indicator Definition:The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of human development. It measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices measuring achievements in each dimension. The HDI is the geometric mean of the three dimension indices and embodies imperfect substitutability across all HDI dimensions. It thus addresses one of the most serious criticisms of the linear aggregation formula, which allowed for perfect substitution across dimensions. Some substitutability is inherent in the definition of any index that increases with the values of its components. Data sources: Life expectancy at birth: UNDESA; Mean years of schooling: Barro and Lee; Expected years of schooling: UNESCO Institute for Statistics; Gross national income (GNI) per capita: World Bank.The indicator "Human development index (HDI)" stands at 0.348 as of 12/31/2011, the highest value at least since 12/31/1990, the period currently displayed. Regarding the One-Year-Change of the series, the current value constitutes an increase of 0.578 percent compared to the value the year prior.The 1 year change in percent is 0.578.The 3 year change in percent is 3.57.The 5 year change in percent is 7.74.The Serie's long term average value is 0.309. It's latest available value, on 12/31/2011, is 12.73 percent higher, compared to it's long term average value.The Serie's change in percent from it's minimum value, on 12/31/2000, to it's latest available value, on 12/31/2011, is +42.62%.The Serie's change in percent from it's maximum value, on 12/31/2011, to it's latest available value, on 12/31/2011, is 0.0%.
