Human Development Data (1990-2018)
2024
This data interactive from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) shares human development data from 1990 to 2018 across multiple dimensions including health, education, gender, and environmental sustainability. Users can explore the data by country or dimension, and narrow it further by specific indicator. All of the data can be downloaded as an Excel file.
UNDP’s Human Development Report Office releases selected indices each year such as the Human Development Index (HDI), the Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), the Gender Development Index (GDI), the Gender Inequality Index (GII), and the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). Data used in these indices and other human development indicators included in the interactive are provided by a variety of public international sources.
Educators can create exercises and activities in which students examine different countries with the same level of GNI per capita, and compare how they may differ in terms of their Human Development Index (HDI), Inequality-Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), Gender Development Index (GDI), Gender Inequality Index (GII), and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). These contrasts can be used to stimulate debate and dialogue about government policy priorities.
