The 2018 Statistical Update of Human Development Indices and Indicators is being released to ensure consistency in reporting on key human development indices and statistics. This comprehensive update provides a brief overview of the state of human development, capturing snapshots of current conditions as well as long-term trends in human development indicators. It includes a comprehensive statistical annex of human development composite indices and indicators across various dimensions, offering a detailed analysis of the progress made in different areas.

The 2017 values and ranking for the Human Development Index (HDI) and other composite indices are included in this update, along with current statistics in key areas of human development. Policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders can utilize these data for analytical, planning, and policy work.

In addition to the standard HDR tables, statistical dashboards are included to draw attention to the relationship between human well-being and five key topics: quality of human development, life-course gender gaps, women's empowerment, environmental sustainability, and socioeconomic sustainability. These dashboards provide a visual representation of the data, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing human development.

The statistical annex provides a detailed breakdown of the human development composite indices and indicators, including their definitions, data sources, and methodology. It offers a comprehensive overview of the progress made in different dimensions of human development, such as health, education, income, and gender equality.

Overall, the 2018 Statistical Update of Human Development Indices and Indicators serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders interested in understanding the state of human development and identifying areas for improvement. It highlights the considerable progress made in recent years, but also emphasizes the persistent deprivations and disparities that continue to challenge many countries. By leveraging these data and insights, we can work towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
