Human development indicator tables

The human development indicator tables provide a global assessment of country achievements in different areas of human development. Many of the Millennium DevelopmentGoal indicators are incorporated in these tables (see Index to indicators and Index to Millennium Development Goal indicators in the indicator tables). Data for these indicators provide a statistical reference for assessing the progress in each country towards the Millennium Development Goals and their targets. The main tables are organized thematically as described by the running titles at thetop of each table. The tables include data for 175 UN member countries along with Hong Kong, China (SAR), and the Occupied Palestinian Territories—all those for which the human development index (HDI) can be calculated. Because of lack of data, 16 UN member countries are not included in the HDI this year. Basic human development indicators for these countries are presented in table 33. In thetables countries and areas are ranked in descending order by their HDI value. To locate a country in these tables, refer to Key to countries on the back cover flap, which lists countries alphabetically with their HDI rank. Most of the data in the tables are for 2003 and are those available to the Human Development Report Office as of 16 May 2005, unless otherwise specified.
