The Human Development Index (HDI) is a key measure used to compare the overall development of countries around the world. It focuses on three main areas: health, education, and standard of living. HDI helps us understand how well people are living in different countries based on life expectancy, average years of schooling, and income per person.

On this page, you can explore the latest HDI rankings by country in a simple and easy-to-read format. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just curious about global development, this page gives you clear insights into how different countries are performing in terms of human development.
