The HDI (human development index) is a composite index that measures a country's average achievements in three basic areas of human development: longevity, knowledge, and a decent standard of living. Longevity is measured by life expectancy at birth; knowledge is measured by a combination of the adult literacy rate and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrolment ratio; and standard of living by GDP per capita (PPP US$).

Operations carried out:
 
The Gender empowerment measure of the UNDP: the GEM does not have current data since the Gender Inequality Index (GII) has taken over as the main empowerment index.
 
GII was updated up to 2014(HDR 2014 Statistical Tables: Table 4 and 2013 report)
 
Multidimensional Poverty Index:
 
Table 6 2015 statistical tables and 2015 table 7

Data was gathered from four tables then sorted (sorting sheet). A merged table was then created (Importing file).
 
Human Development Index
 
Due to the changes in calculations that occurred in 2010, the new series contains data from 2015 HDR report (2015 Statistical Tables Annex 2).
 
Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index
 
Data came from 2015 Statistical Tables: Table 3, 2014(Table 3 for 2013 data). Data also came from HDR report of 2013 in the annex tables for 2012 data.

United Nations Development Program (UNDP):  Human Development Report

United Nations Development Program publishes a widely circulated annual report, namely the Human Development Report, which contains indicator tables for 191 UN member countries along with Hong Kong, SAR (China) and Occupied Palestinian Territories. These countries and areas are classified in four ways: by human development level, by income, in major world aggregates and by region. All countries included in the HDI are classified into three clusters by achievement in human development: high human development (with an HDI of 0.800 or above), medium human development (0.500–0.799) and low human development (less than 0.500). It is an annual publication that is normally launched in June or July and also available online at www.undp.org.

The HDI (human development index) is a composite index that measures a country's average achievements in three basic areas of human development: longevity, knowledge, and a decent standard of living. Longevity is measured by life expectancy at birth; knowledge is measured by a combination of the adult literacy rate and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrolment ratio; and standard of living by GDP per capita (PPP US$).
