******* 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.

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.

Europe and Central Asia was the region with the highest Human Development Index (HDI) worldwide at ***. Meanwhile, the lowest HDI was found in Sub-Saharan Africa, underlining the high prevalence of poverty in the region. The difference between the regions was even stronger after adjusting for inequality.

The average for 2023 based on 12 countries was 0.787 points. The highest value was in Chile: 0.878 points and the lowest value was in Venezuela: 0.709 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Context

Data is ranking of countries as per HDI(Human Development Index). A measure of prosperity in Country

Content

Consists of HDI(male and female),Average schooling in years(Male and Female), Average Life Expectancy(male and female) and Per Capita Income (male and female ) of nearly 190 countries

Acknowledgements

Thanks to United Nation Development Program for the Data.

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

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.

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.

In 2023 Zurich was both the leading smart city based on the IMD smart city index as well as the city with the highest human development index score, making it one of the premier places on earth to live in. Notable exceptions to the HDI to IMD index score were Beijing, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. Beijing is a notable outlier because although it ranked 12th on the digital smart cities ranking it was nearly 90 points lower than Zurich on the HDI score. This is compared to Munich, Germany, which was the 20th digital city but had a HDI score of ***. Smart tech is watching. CCTV cameras powered by artificial intelligence have become a significant growing market in the modern city. These are predominantly residential, with half the market catering to residential applications of CCTV cameras. However, commercial and business-related CCTV cameras have also seen significant growth, with the market reaching over *** million U.S. dollars in 2023. Digital cities need data and data needs infrastructure. The leading issue with AI infrastructure is data management. AI is a strong influence on how digital cities work and requires a considerable amount of infrastructure to be effective. Storage of AI software is a minor concern, accounting for less than ** percent of challenges globally in 2023.

Perfect for insightful analytics.
