The following is the latest human development index report for 2020, covering 189 countries and regions. On the basis of the original edition, this edition is specially marked with Chinese for your convenience.
Generally speaking, a performance above 0.8 is considered as a country and region with a very high human development index. The Nordic country, Norway, has been ranked first for many years, while China and Hongkong have been in the forefront, ranking fourth this time. On the whole, the highest human development index is still in Europe and the United States, especially in the top 30, except Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Israel. In addition, some countries in South America and the Middle East are also impressive. Mauritius in Africa is the only country in Africa with a very high development index.
0.7 to 0.8 are countries and regions with high human development index. This time, China ranked 85th, which was the same as last year's ranking. The specific value rose from 0.758 to 0.75438+0. After reading the data for many years, we have been in a state of steady rise.
0.55 to 0.7 are countries and regions with moderate human development index. These countries will become less and less common in the future, and many places may be unheard of. Among them, India, which we are familiar with, ranks 13 1, Pakistan ranks 154, while Syria, which has been in war all the year round, still ranks 15 1.
Below 0.55, there are 34 countries and regions with low human development index. Except Afghanistan and Haiti, they are all African countries, and most of these places are unstable and conflict-ridden.
The Human Development Initiative uses very intuitive data to provide guidance and reference for the development policies and strategies of various countries. In addition, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund will also determine their assistance to developing countries accordingly. So the annual HDI list is still very authoritative and valuable.
