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.

(1) The Human Development Index (HDI) is compiled by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to measure a country's comprehensive development in the areas of health, education, and economy according to the UNDP's calculation formula.(2) Explanation: (1) The HDI value ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values being better. (2) Due to our country's non-membership in the United Nations and its special international situation, the index is calculated by our department according to the UNDP formula using our country's data. The calculation of the comprehensive index for each year is mainly based on the data of various indicators adopted by the UNDP. (3) In order to have the same baseline for international comparison, the comprehensive index and rankings are not retroactively adjusted after being published.(3) Notes: (1) The old indicators included life expectancy at birth, adult literacy rate, gross enrollment ratio, and average annual income per person calculated by purchasing power parity. (2) The indicators were updated to include life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and nominal gross national income (GNI) calculated by purchasing power parity. Starting in 2011, the GNI per capita was adjusted from nominal value to real value to exclude the impact of price changes. Additionally, the HDI calculation method has changed from arithmetic mean to geometric mean. (3) The calculation method for indicators in the education domain changed from geometric mean to simple average due to retrospective adjustments in the 2014 Human Development Report for the years 2005, 2008, and 2010-2012. Since 2016, the education domain has adopted data compiled by the Ministry of Education according to definitions from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

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.

Human Development Index 2022 (HDI)

This dataset is derived from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Reports, focusing on the latest Human Development Index (HDI) for the year 2022. It has been formatted into easy-to-process CSV tables to facilitate analysis and exploration in Data Science projects.

The dataset provides information on HDI rankings and various social factors that influence this key performance indicator, including:

1. Social Inequality: Metrics reflecting disparities in access to resources and opportunities.
2. Gender Inequality: Indicators measuring inequities between genders in health, education, and economic participation.
3. Trends in HDI: Historical data showcasing changes in human development over time.

Suggestions for Potential Uses in Data Science: 1. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Visualize global patterns and regional variations in HDI and its influencing factors. 2. Predictive Modeling: Use trends to predict future HDI rankings or identify factors with the highest impact on human development. 3. Clustering and Segmentation: Identify groups of countries with similar HDI profiles using unsupervised learning methods. 4. Correlations and Insights: Explore relationships between HDI and socioeconomic factors such as education levels, healthcare access, and income equality. 5. Policy Recommendations: Analyze insights to suggest targeted interventions for sustainable human development.-

This dataset serves as a resource for researchers, data enthusiasts, and policymakers aiming to understand and improve human development across the globe.

Data of ten countries: seven countries are classified as ‘developing’ – Bolivia, Cambodia, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Nepal and Tanzania, while three countries – Hungary, Slovenia and USA are designated as ‘developed.’ These countries have the complete HDI and tourist arrivals’ data for the period 1996 – 2019. The study analyses the impact of tourism to human development in ten countries, that also include other variables: jobs, government effectiveness and political stability, using three different panel estimation techniques: random, fixed effect and Least-squares Dummy variables (LSDV).

Countries from Natural Earth 50M scale data with a Human Development Index attribute, repeated for each of the following years: 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, & 2013, to enable time-series display using the YEAR attribute. The Human Development Index measures achievement in 3 areas of human development: long life, good education and income. Specifically, the index is computed using life expectancy at birth, Mean years of schooling, expected years of schooling, and gross national income (GNI) per capita (PPP $). The United Nations categorizes the HDI values into 4 groups. In 2013 these groups were defined by the following HDI values: Very High: 0.736 and higher High: 0.615 to 0.735 Medium: 0.494 to 0.614 Low: 0.493 and lower

Human Development Index attributes are from The World Bank: HDRO calculations based on data from UNDESA (2013a), Barro and Lee (2013), UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013), UN Statistics Division (2014), World Bank (2014) and IMF (2014).
