South Sudan and Somalia had the ****** levels of human development based on the Human Development Index (HDI). 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.

The average for 2023 based on 184 countries was 0.744 points. The highest value was in Iceland: 0.972 points and the lowest value was in South Africa: 0.388 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Switzerland had the highest level of the Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide in 2022 with a value of 0.967. With a score of 0.966, Norway followed closely behind Switzerland 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 four and number nine of the HDI, respectively, Hong Kong and Singapore are the only Asian locations within the top 10 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 5,703 U.S. dollars, increasing throughout the decades until reaching 50,029 in 2023, which is expected to continue to increase in the future. Meanwhile, in 1989, Singapore had a GDP of nearly 31 billion U.S. dollars, which has risen to nearly 501 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 507 billion U.S. dollars by 2022. Per capita, the UAE GDP was around 21,142 U.S. dollars in 1989, and has nearly doubled to 43,438 U.S. dollars by 2021. Moreover, this is expected to reach over 67,538 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.

IntroductionCoronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2-virus. COVID-19 has officially been declared as the latest in the list of pandemics by WHO at the start of 2020. This study investigates the associations among decrease in economic activity, gender, age, and psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic considering the economic status and education level of countries using multinational surveys.MethodsOnline self-report questionnaires were administered in 15 countries which were spontaneously participate to 14,243 respondents in August 2020. Prevalence of decrease in economic activity and psychological distress was stratified by age, gender, education level, and Human Development Index (HDI). With 7,090 of female (49.8%), mean age 40.67, 5,734 (12.75%) lost their job and 5,734 (40.26%) suffered from psychological distress.ResultsAssociations among psychological distress and economic status, age, and gender was assessed using multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for country and education as random effects of the mixed model. We then measured the associations between HDI and age using multivariate logistic regression. Women had a higher prevalence of psychological distress than men with 1.067 Odds ratio, and younger age was significantly associated with decrease in economic activity for 0.998 for age increasing. Moreover, countries with lower HDI showed a higher prevalence of decrease in economic activity, especially at lower education levels.DiscussionPsychological distress due to COVID-19 revealed a significant association with decrease in economic activity, women, and younger age. While the proportion of decrease in economic activity population was different for each country, the degree of association of the individual factors was the same. Our findings are relevant, as women in high HDI countries and low education level in lower HDI countries are considered vulnerable. Policies and guidelines for both financial aid and psychological intervention are recommended.

The average for 2022 based on 52 countries was 0.562 points. The highest value was in the Seychelles: 0.802 points and the lowest value was in South Africa: 0.381 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In sub-Saharan Africa, a score of 0.55 was achieved on the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2021. This represented a low level of human development. Throughout the periods under study, the sub-region remained within the index scores of 0.42 and 0.56, an indication of low human development.

(1) Human well-being on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau based on the human development index: the human well-being on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau (Qinghai and Xizang provinces) is measured quantitatively using the comprehensive human development index, an objective well-being assessment indicator. Referring to the functional structure framework of human welfare in China in the new era, the functional structure of human groups is divided into basic functions, harmonious functions, development functions and sustainable functions. On the basis of the four functions, functional indicators and specific indicator systems are further designed, that is, health, education, integration of urban and rural areas, living standards and coping with climate change account for 1/5 of the five functional indicators, and the secondary indicators are also set with equal rights. This data can reflect the comprehensive development level of human beings in Qinghai and Xizang to a certain extent, and has certain reference significance for the future development planning of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. (2) Regional Social Relations Comprehensive Index: Based on data collected from the 2010-2019 China Regional Economic Statistical Yearbook, China Urban Statistical Yearbook, China Civil Affairs Statistical Yearbook, Provincial (Autonomous Region) Statistical Yearbook and Statistical Bulletin, relevant City Statistical Bulletin, etc., a regional social relations evaluation index system was constructed on the basis of regional social relations analysis in provincial-level areas of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The weights of various indicators were determined, and the regional social relations comprehensive index of 37 prefecture level cities on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau was calculated. Based on this data, obtain a spatiotemporal distribution map of regional social relations at the prefecture level on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. (3) Human economic well-being related data: Based on data from the China Statistical Yearbook of six provinces in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region from 2000 to 2017, and considering the complexity of human well-being, 18 indicators were selected to construct a human economic well-being indicator system suitable for evaluating the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region from four aspects: income and consumption, production materials, living materials, and resource acquisition capacity; Based on data from 17 prefecture level cities in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region from 2007 to 2018, including the China Urban Statistical Yearbook, provincial (autonomous region) statistical yearbooks and bulletins, and relevant urban statistical bulletins, and considering the actual situation of typical cities in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region, 22 indicators were selected to construct a human welfare index system from five aspects: income and consumption, means of production, means of livelihood, resource acquisition ability, and physical health. This indicator helps to better understand the actual conditions of basic living conditions such as economy, material resources, and means of production of residents in various regions of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. (4) Habitat quality of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau: This dataset is based on the InVEST model and uses land use data, road data, and terrain data to calculate the habitat quality of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau from 2000 to 2020. The data span is 20 years, with data provided every 5 years and a resolution of 1000m. Among them, the land use data is sourced from the global 30 meter land cover fine classification product（ http://data.casearth.cn/sdo/list ）. The DEM data is sourced from the National Qinghai Tibet Plateau Science Data Center（ http://data.tpdc.ac.cn ）. The road data is sourced from the OpenStreetMap website（ http://openstreetmap.org/ ）. (5) Educational welfare: Based on the education statistical data of various provinces from 2013 to 2021 released on the official website of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, the compilation of science and technology statistical data of higher education institutions, the Statistical Yearbook of China's Disability Affairs, the Statistical Yearbook of China's Education Funds, relevant research reports, and other publicly available data, the entropy weight method is selected to objectively determine the weights of each evaluation indicator. The natural breakpoint method is used to grade the various educational welfare evaluation data obtained in 2013 and 2021, and to draw educational welfare evaluation maps and comprehensive educational welfare evaluation maps of various levels and types of schools. This provides a more accurate understanding of the spatiotemporal pattern of various educational welfare and comprehensive educational welfare on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, and provides scientific basis and decision-making reference for relevant departments. (6) Human welfare in the Dadu River Basin: Based on meteorological data from
