“The United Nations’ human development index includes information about ... life expectancy, literacy and educationalachievements, as well as financial wealth, to give a more comprehensive view of what life is all about.”
The map shows the population ofeach territory multiplied by theHuman Development Index of theUnited Nations DevelopmentProgram. This is a measure of qualityof life. It combines measures of health,wealth and education in a territory.
In 2004, an optimum score of 1000was achieved where life expectancywas 85 or more years, adult literacywas 100%, school enrolment was100% and the Gross Domestic Productis US$40 000 or more per person peryear.
Norway has the highest score of 956;Sierra Leone has the lowest score of273. The world average is 698.
• Data are from the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme’s 2004 Human Development Report.
• The Human Development Index is based on lifeexpectancy, adult literacy, school enrolment andGross Domestic Product per person.
• See website for further information.
Territory size shows the proportion of worldwide humandevelopment of the total world population (populationmultiplied by human development index), found there.
