A summary measure of human development across countries, assessing health, education, and living standards.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite index created by the United Nations Development Programme to evaluate average achievement in key dimensions: a long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living. It emphasizes people's capabilities over economic growth alone.
Access HDI data via the Human Development Reports website to explore indices, graphs, and country rankings. Use it for policy analysis, research, or comparing development outcomes across nations.
