The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of జీవితకాల ప్రమాణం, అక్షరాస్యత, విద్య, and జీవన ప్రమాణాలు for దేశాలు worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially శిశు సంక్షేమం. It is used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, a developing, or an under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. The index was developed in 1990 by పాకిస్తాన్i economist Mahbub ul Haq.[1]

Countries fall into three broad categories based on their HDI: high, medium, and low human development. The arrows show the change in HDI from 2005 values.
