About
This dataset presents key indicators from the World Human Development Report 2021, focusing on the Human Development Index (HDI) and its components. The HDI is a composite index designed to measure average achievement in three fundamental dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living. It provides insights into global progress and disparities in human well-being.
Columns
- HDI rank: Indicates the Human Development Index rank for each country.
- Country: Specifies the country associated with the data, offering a unique value for each entry.
- HUMAN DEVELOPMENT CATEGORY: Categorises countries based on their human development level, such as 'VERY HIGH' or 'HIGH'.
- Human Development Index (HDI): The calculated Human Development Index value for each country.
- Life expectancy at birth: Represents the number of years a newborn infant could expect to live under prevailing mortality patterns.
- Expected years of schooling: Shows the number of years of schooling a child of school entrance age can expect to receive.
- Mean years of schooling: Reflects the average number of years of education received by people aged 25 and older.
- Gross national income (GNI) per capita: The aggregate income of an economy per person, converted to international dollars using PPP rates.
- GNI per capita rank minus HDI rank: The difference in a country's ranking by GNI per capita and its HDI value. A negative value suggests the country is better ranked by GNI than by HDI.
