Pakistan ahead of India on human development indices: UN report

[para-site]

I have a problem with the Maternal mortality rate for India. That is a very old figure i believe. The maternal mortalirt rate figure for india is very old , an inter-agency estimate of UN given on this UNICEF website say that in 2008 INDIAN MMR was 230 and Pakistan's MMR was 260. These are the latest figures. Here is the link - childinfo.org/maternal_mortality_ratio.php
There is something wronf with the MMR reported in this report. It isn't credible. I am not being able to post the URL since i am a fresh member.

If possible i request any other more experienced member on this forum to post the URL.

Yes u are right.....MMR data is old one........currently it's around 254....which is a huge improvement......Lets wait for census results before drawing any conclusions as of now.....

Pakistan ahead of India on human development indices: UN report

India lags behind its neighbours, Pakistan and Bangladesh, on human development indices like life expectancy at birth and mean or average years of schooling, a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report released on Thursday said. Titled "Real Wealth of Nations: Pathways to Human Development", the report had a global launch and was released at the UN in New York by UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon.

While India is ranked 119 on the Human Development Index (HDI) among 169 countries -- above Pakistan and Bangladesh which are ranked 125 and 129, respectively -- it lags behind the two on certain development indices.

According to the report, life expectancy at birth in India is 64.4 years, while in Pakistan it is 67.2 years. In Bangladesh, life expectancy is 66.9 years.

Similarly, mean years of schooling in India is 4.4 years while in Pakistan and Bangladesh it is 4.9 and 4.8 years respectively.

Sri Lanka, which is ranked above India on HDI at 91, also fares better than India on the two indices. Its life expectancy at birth is 74.4 years and mean years of schooling is 8.2 years.

On some positive note, in terms of growth of income, India is considered one of the top 10 countries. China is on the top position in this index.

Finance Ministry's chief economic advisor Kaushik Basu, who was present at the India launch of the report, said: "India has a lot of catching up to do. There is scope to do so much better."
