In 1990 United Nations development programme (UNDP) made his first attempt to measure the level of human development by publishing a report called Human Development Index (HDI).

United Nations development programme (UNDP) made this report with the help of its members the first leading members were Mahbub Ul Haq and Inge Kaul. Human Development Index was quite successful for comparing the development between economies.

This report is based on its three parameters health, education and living standard.There is fixed point for every criteria between 0 and 1, Every country gets their points based on their performance in particular field and eventually UNDP converters these parameters into Human Development Index.Long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living. These three dimensions of HDI represents this index.

The measurement of the health dimension of Human Development Index is based on life expectancy at birth, and the dimension of the education is measured by mean of years of schooling for adults aged 25 years and more in expected years of schooling for children of school entering age. The third dimension. The standard of living is measured by gross national income per capita.

This year in 2020 india has dropped by 2 ranks and now in the 2020 we are at 131 position .

India was ranked 129 out of 189 countries in the year 2019 for Human Development Index. India was at 130th position on Human Development Index in 2018.


This is the latest index which is just release 3 days ago

Not bad but imo Russia, Bulgaria and few eastern European countries should be removed from the dark green level and also Argentina. According to my estimation which is much more correct there is 37 countries that qualifies for dark green. Also China should be dark green instead of Russia

In China’s case there is still vast disparities between inland provinces and eastern provinces. Big cities along the coast are approaching European levels but many villages remain poverty stricken even after poverty alleviation efforts.

Well you should check out east Europe in that case especially Russia it doesn't belong here. Chinese atleast has outstanding cities like Shenzhen that could arguably rival Singapore, Dubai, New York etc etc.

They have listed all the muslim countries correct. Malaysia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Brunei, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Kazakhstan and United Arab Emirates all were correctly selected as dark green level. They also got west europe right.

As for the baltic countries and much of eastern europe mainly balkan and including Russia and Argentina don't belong to this list. However China does if you consider all the major cities it has. Hong kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, etc etc these are world class cities.

Azerbaijan will soon be able to join.

Then again Russia/Eastern Europe don’t have areas where they only recently acquired running water and electricity.

I have seen East Europe. They have villages with no electricity that is ancient and alot of villages are under-developed. Overall they don't match China in Human development. There is more buildings and constructions in only Shenzhen alone then there is in whole of East Europe

I would say Russia is relatively good in infrastructure and education. They also have become a host of FIFA World Cup that show they have adequate facility to do that job.

Talking about Eastern European. Here there is Romanian women who married Indonesian man and lives in Indonesia (live in Jakarta maybe). She went to Romania and visited her parent house and I think they have decent life there.

Singapore has higher life expectancy and GNI PPP per capita than top place Norway, however we are lagging quite a bit behind many developed countries in the Education Index (Expected years of schooling and Mean years of schooling). We are even behind Russia, Kazakhstan and Cuba in Mean years of schooling.

This is likely because we are a developed country only for a generation or two. Our elderly grew up in a poor Singapore and did not receive much education.

It seems the human development index is an average between the old and young people.

If we remove the older generation, that is real Singapore.

Europe and Russia isn’t overpopulated like Asia.
That has value in itself

Nah that's cherry picking. The older generation is a significant portion of our demographic and they are part of our society.

Vietnam's health care has always far better than the Phillipines for ages. We have had world-class doctors (even during the war against America) and some may deserve the Nobel prize for medicine, e.g. Dr. Dang Van Ngu, if not for the political reasons. Our life expectancy is 75.3 compared to the Phillipines's of 71.1. Number of hospital beds or doctors per population wise, we are second only to Singapore in South East Asia, not to mention our quality of doctors are of world-class.

Our quality of education is also world class, which is recognized by OECD. Vietnam ranked 10th in 2018 PISA test, behind only Singapore in South East Asia. Phillipines was almost near the bottom among the participants.

Our GDP per capita (either nominal or PPP) may be lower than the Phillipines by a little bit, but not too much in 2019.

I do not understand why Vietnam's HDI is lower than the Phillipines or Indonesia.

Similarly China's HDI ranking, which is lower than Kazakhstan's, Oman's, Serbia's, Bulgaria's and various poorer East European (now firmly in the West's camp), .. seems to be politically motivated.

Good to see that most major Muslim countries like Indonesia, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan, UAE/Oman/Kuwait/Qatar/Bahrain group, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan etc are all in the 'high' or 'Very High' HDI category now in 2020.

Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nigeria are next in line to join the high HDI category---by the end of this decade, hopefully.

Muslim states in sub-Saharan Africa (Niger, Chad, Sudan, Somalia etc) and Afghanistan have a longer route before they get to high HDI levels.
