******* 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.

The Human Development Report presents a wealth of statistical information on different aspects of human development

(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).

In 2021, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Minnesota had the highest Human Development Index (HDI) score of any other states at ****. Many more states had a score just below this at ****. Mississippi had the lowest HDI score at ****, and the U.S. average was ****.

The human development index (HDI) score of Russia slightly increased in 2023, having reached *****. That was the highest observation since 1990. The HDI is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over 0.800 are considered to have very high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower. The HDI score of Russia declined between 1990 and 1995 before recovering from 2000 onwards.

Norway: Human Development Index (0 - 1): The latest value from 2023 is 0.97 points, an increase from 0.966 points in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 0.744 points, based on data from 185 countries. Historically, the average for Norway from 1980 to 2023 is 0.921 points. The minimum value, 0.793 points, was reached in 1980 while the maximum of 0.97 points was recorded in 2023.

In 2022, Ethiopia scored almost *** in the Human Development Index (HDI), which indicated a low level of development. The country experienced no change in the HDI score since the 2019. However, an improvement was recorded from 2000 onwards. That year, Ethiopia's score was ****, meaning that the country had a lower human development. The country's categorization was low throughout the period under review.

Canada: Human Development Index (0 - 1): The latest value from 2023 is 0.939 points, an increase from 0.935 points in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 0.744 points, based on data from 185 countries. Historically, the average for Canada from 1980 to 2023 is 0.889 points. The minimum value, 0.809 points, was reached in 1980 while the maximum of 0.939 points was recorded in 2023.

UNDP first published the Human Development Report in 1990 in collaboration with economist Mehboob Haque, who is credited as the promoter of the HDI Index. The most important aspects of the HDI Index are longevity, healthy living, educational attainment, and quality of life as well as other important factors such as political independence, human rights, and self-respect. UNDP's Human Development Report is a combination of three principles. That is.
1) Life expectancy at birth.
2) Level of education. (Rate of adult education, rate of primary, secondary, higher education)
3) The standard of living. (GDP per capita based on USD)
The HDI index is averaged based on the maximum and minimum values of these three elements. According to the report, India was ranked 126th in the HDI Index in 2006. In 2008, Maxine Olson, UNDP Representative in India, and Motek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, published the Human Development Report in Delhi, in which India was ranked 128th (Value 0.619). Compared to 2006, India has slipped two places.

Context

The Gender Inequality Index (GII) is a comprehensive measure devised to evaluate gender disparities and inequities within a society by taking into account various critical dimensions. This index provides insights into the differences and imbalances experienced by individuals based on their gender. The GII is an extension of the Human Development Index (HDI) and concentrates on three principal dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity. Reproductive health is a significant dimension of the GII, encompassing indicators such as maternal mortality rates and adolescent birth rates. These indicators reflect the disparities in health outcomes experienced by women, especially in terms of maternal health and reproductive rights.

The Human development index (HDI) of Portugal from 1990 to 2021 shows that the HDI score of Portugal has increased from ***** in 1990 to ***** in 2021, implying that the country's human development has improved during this time period. The HDI itself is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over ***** are considered to have very high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower.

The average for 2023 based on 27 countries was 0.915 points. The highest value was in Denmark: 0.962 points and the lowest value was in Bulgaria: 0.845 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The Human Development Index (HDI) of Germany has increased from ***** in 1990 to ***** by 2021, indicating that Germany has reached very high levels of human development. The HDI itself is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over ***** are considered to have very high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower. Germany's HDI score has increased from ***** in 1990 to ***** by 2019, implying that Germany has consistently had a very high level of human development.

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) Gender Inequality Index (GII) is compiled by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to measure gender inequality in the areas of reproductive health, empowerment, and labor market. Our country calculates the index based on the UNDP formula.(2) Explanation: (1) GII is used to measure the difference in development achievements between the two genders, with a value between 0 and 1, where a smaller value is better. (2) Due to our country's non-membership in the United Nations and unique international situation, the index is calculated by our department according to the UNDP formula, incorporating our country's data. The calculation of the composite index for each year mainly uses the data year of various indicators adopted by UNDP. (3) In order to have the same standard for international comparison, the composite index and rankings, once published, will not be retrospectively adjusted.(3) Notes: (1) In 2011, UNDP adjusted the formula for the maternal mortality ratio in the Human Development Report, resulting in a significant decrease in GII values for each country, and the data for retrospective adjustments will not be re-ranked. (2) The original indicator "Labor force participation rate for ages 15-64" has been changed to "Labor force participation rate for ages 15 and above"; UNDP has not released the global GII ranking for 2016.
