This is a list of countries by Human Development Index as included in the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report 2007/2008, compiled on the basis of 2005 data and published on November 27, 2007. It covers 175 UN member countries (out of 192), along with: Hong Kong (SAR of China) and PA-governed territories. 17 UN member countries are not included due to lack of data. The average HDI of regions of the World and groups of countries are also included for comparison.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, a developing, or an under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. The index was developed in 1990 by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian economist Amartya Sen.[1]
Countries fall into three broad categories based on their HDI: high, medium, and low human development.
