From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of countries by the Human Development Index [HDI] as included in the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report organized by continent or other international regions. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary index assessing countries on 3 dimensions, health, education and standard of living using life expectancy at birth, expected years of schooling for children and mean years of schooling for adults, and GNI PPP per capita. The final HDI is a value between 0 and 1 with countries grouped into four categories depending on the value, very high for HDI of 0.800 and above, high from 0.700 to 0.799, medium from 0.550 to 0.699 and low below 0.550.[1][2][3]
