List Of Top 20 Most Developed Countries By HDI (See Nigeria's Position)

This is a list of all countries by Human Development Index as included in a United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report.




The latest report was released on 24 July 2014 and compiled on the basis of estimates for 2013.[1]

In the 2010 Human Development Report a further Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) was introduced. While the simple HDI remains useful, it stated that "the IHDI is the actual level of human development (accounting for inequality)" and "the HDI can be viewed as an index of “potential” human development (or the maximum IHDI that could be achieved if there were no inequality)".[2]
