Jordan's governmental is already experiencing a democracy. She enjoys a representative, parliamentary constitutional monarchy. A form that is quite similar to the UK's, Sweden's, Belgium's, Netherland's, Japan's, Norway's, Denmark's, Spain's. And from the look of the demographic situation, The Kingdom of Jordan is -- far more stable than Iraq, Syria, and many other countries.

Now let us observe Jordan in terms of HDI, shall we ? But let's define HDI for those who don't know what HDI is and how it is critical for learned students to make a didactic analysis. HDI is a summary of measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development : 1) a long healthy life, 2) access to knowledge and a decent standard of living and 3) a decent standard of living. A long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy; access to knowledge is measured by various independent variables that include :
- mean years of education among the adult population (an average number of years of education received by life-time by people aged 25 years and older
- expected years of schooling for children of school-entry age, which is the total number of years of schooling a child of school-entry age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrollment rates stay the same throughout the child's life.
- Standard of living is measured by GNI (gross national income) per capita
Now --- that said --- How does The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan rank in HDI ?
Jordan's HDI value for 2013 is 0.745 -- which is in the high human development category--- positioning the country at 77 out of 187 countries and territories. Between 1980 and 2013, Jordan's HDI value increased from 0.587 to 0.745, an increase of 27.0 percent or an average annual increase of about 0.73 percent. Please refer to Graph #1.
