******* 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.

Human Development Index by country for 2013. This is a filtered layer based on the "Human Development Index by country, 1980-2010 time-series" layer.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 Human Development: 0.736 and higher High Human Development: 0.615 to 0.735 Medium Human Development: 0.494 to 0.614 Low Human Development: 0.493 and lower

Country shapes from Natural Earth 50M scale data. 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).

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.

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.

The dataset contains year- and country-wise historical data on the human development index, gender development index, and multidimensional index of global countries, together with other components such as child mortality, access to drinking water, electricity, and housing, nutrition and sanitation rate, school attendance rate, assets, etc.

Iceland had the highest level of the Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide in 2023 after adjusting for inequality, with a value of ****. Its Nordic neighbors Norway and Denmark followed behind. Meanwhile, Iceland also topped the HDI not adjusted for inequality.

The aim of the Human Development Report is to stimulate global, regional and national policy-relevant discussions on issues pertinent to human development. Accordingly, the data in the Report require the highest standards of data quality, consistency, international comparability and transparency. The Human Development Report Office (HDRO) fully subscribes to the Principles governing international statistical activities.

The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth alone. The HDI can also be used to question national policy choices, asking how two countries with the same level of GNI per capita can end up with different human development outcomes. These contrasts can stimulate debate about government policy priorities. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions.

The 2019 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) data shed light on the number of people experiencing poverty at regional, national and subnational levels, and reveal inequalities across countries and among the poor themselves.Jointly developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, the 2019 global MPI offers data for 101 countries, covering 76 percent of the global population. The MPI provides a comprehensive and in-depth picture of global poverty – in all its dimensions – and monitors progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1 – to end poverty in all its forms. It also provides policymakers with the data to respond to the call of Target 1.2, which is to ‘reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women, and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definition'.

The scores for the three HDI dimension indices are then aggregated into a composite index using geometric mean. Refer to Technical notes for more details. The HDI simplifies and captures only part of what human development entails. It does not reflect on inequalities, poverty, human security, empowerment, etc. The HDRO offers the other composite indices as broader proxy on some of the key issues of human development, inequality, gender disparity and poverty. A fuller picture of a country's level of human development requires analysis of other indicators and information presented in the statistical annex of the report.
