The explanation as to the meaning of "inequality" and the methodology of the measurement appears to be missing; this gives the entire concept an appearance of being merely a political excuse (or an attack). Obviously people are all different, and how does one determine whether that is a consequence of "inequality" (whatever that means) or its cause? Perhaps it is neither, and merely the result of differing goals. One does wonder how such a piece gets into wikipedia??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:5B0:29FF:1EF0:0:0:0:36 (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

i agree with the first sentence above ... what are you thinking? this data may be 'good', or it may be completely meaningless, no way to tell at all. i'm sure people are quoting it to each other somewhere on earth. the 'fake news' phenomenon has come to wikipedia.

Missing data

where's japan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.12.252.245 (talk) 17:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC) ...Japan is there. I am more concerned by the lack of up to date data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.104.155 (talk) 20:53, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

no china 2013, 2014, 2015.

Cuba is also missing on the list. --190.167.211.218 (talk) 19:04, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No Qatar, UAE. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Syria! I know these are repressive regimes and places one best avoid if possible, but I didn't mean we should completely avoid them, going as far as not to publish data on these despotic autocratic dictatorships. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.78.138.229 (talk) 21:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Caution

I added the caution part because after reading the methodology I noted a significant flaw. I have emailed the HDR people and they agree with me and say they may change it next year. Lneal001 (talk) 15:16, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caution removed pending explanation of issues with methodology. (by Special:Contributions/142.136.166.97)

HDI itself is a fairly flawed index, it isn't used in any real measurements. Inequality adjusted HDI is even worse, every academician knows this. For example from 1995 to 2015 quality of life in Sweden fell from worlds first to barely competing with East Asia and East Europe, yet the position of the country in the ranking system didn't change. 172.97.231.219 (talk) 22:37, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update map for 2014

A new map is needed for the latest results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.105.248 (talk) 00:48, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mali missing from map

Despite being on the list, Mali is missing from the map. It should be the same colour as DR Congo.

Also, CAR should be its own colour due to scoring <0.2.

Thank you for the upload.

2014 Table?

After looking at the source for the 2014 table, the table in the article seems to be completely messed up... Netherlands are missing, Iceland, Canada and Austria are in wrong positions, just to name a few. Am I missing something or is this just the result of vandalism? 2A02:8084:2000:1A00:59D1:F7F7:AF69:2F5B (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Data incorrect???

If one looks at the data at http://hdr.undp.org/en/data the 2012 and 2011 HDI and IHDI tables do not match the figures given. The references given for the data in the tables leads to an irrelevant page, and some data is clearly nonsense: currently the HDI and IHDI of the USA are being given as 0.001. The data is also obviously outdated in any case as newer (2014) data is available at the aforementioned link. It seems this page needs extensive correcting and updating. AliasMe (talk) 22:17, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of correcting the obvious vandalism to the USA data using http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/reports/14/hdr2013_en_complete.pdf and http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/Country-Profiles/USA.pdf Ckal07 (talk) 03:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Map update

I have updated the data to the latest available, so the map on this article needs updating to match the new data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.38.210.183 (talk) 19:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Map update

We need a map update for the 2018 HDR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.190.78 (talk) 13:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The map is incorrect. Central African Republic should be the same colour as Chad and South Sudan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.190.78 (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a corrected map with CAR the right colour and Belize coloured in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.190.78 (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries by inequality-adjusted HDI → List of countries by inequality-adjusted Human Development Index – Expand acronym per MOS:ACROTITLE as well as consistency with List of countries by Human Development Index. --Trialpears (talk) 22:41, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support – acronyms shouldn't be used in titles unless they are near-universally recognizable: this one isn't. And also per WP:CONSISTENCY as per nom. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:43, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In the similar RM at Talk:List of countries by planetary pressures–adjusted HDI BarrelProof brought up MOS:SUFFIXDASH and I think this should actually be moved to List of countries by inequality–adjusted Human Development Index (with dash) because of that. --Trialpears (talk) 14:53, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FTR, I have no opinion on the "dash" issue, and will defer to other editors' consensus on that. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:55, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suffixdash is a tricky area; Ravenpuff has helped me with it in the past. I believe that since "planetary pressures" is two words, it's needed at that article, but since "inequality" is only one word the dash should be retained here. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 19:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and IJBall. About the hyphen, I think "inequality" here is a prefix of the single word "adjusted" (describing the type of adjustment), not a prefix of the entire multi-word phrase "adjusted Human Development Index". Thus I think it should use a hyphen rather than a dash. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alright I don't feel qualified to comment on the dash/hyphen issue. I will defer to others on this. --Trialpears (talk) 15:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Data update by UNDP

With the publication of the 2021/22 Human Development Report, it looks not only we have some new datapoints, but also previous years have been adjusted retroactively (see for example Iceland): https://hdr.undp.org/inequality-adjusted-human-development-index#/indicies/IHDI — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.112.157 (talk) 01:28, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alot of countries are missing from the list

I'm pretty sure a substantial amount of countries are completely missing from the list as it only goes up to 156 yet there are 193 United Nations member states.

I'm from Finland, but how would you feel if your country wasn't included in a list that is supposedly a list of all internationally recognized countries? 84.253.196.5 (talk) 04:26, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
