The first HDR was launched in 1990 by the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian Nobel laureate Amartya Sen.
Human Development Report published by UNDP compares countries based on the educational levels of the people, their health status, and per capita income
- Health i.e. Life expectancy- It denotes the number of years a person is to be alive. It is an estimate of the average age of members of a group.
- Education i.e. Gross enrollment ratio - It is the ratio for three levels means enrolment ratio for primary school, secondary school, and higher education beyond secondary school.
- National Income- All goods and services produced in a year by a country are valued. The higher the national income, the better the growth of any economy or country. From the national income figures, it can be known how fast the growth of a country is increasing.
