Human Development Reports

Human Development Reports (HDR) are comprehensive publications produced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that assess and analyze global and national development progress. They focus on improving human well-being beyond just economic growth, emphasizing health, education, and income as essential factors. HDRs provide data and insights on various issues, such as poverty, inequality, and gender, and they aim to inform policymakers and the public to promote sustainable development and social justice. Each report often introduces the Human Development Index (HDI), a measure that ranks countries based on their citizens' quality of life.
