Human development report 2014: Saudi Arabia ranked 34th

[Arabian Legend]

I picked an injured parrot from my street, it had a wound on its leg. I nursed him, loved him , fed him, chatted to him for over a week. Then the bugger flew away without ever saying goodbye.

Poor Aeronaut.

HDI is fake western propaganda

Post-oil era has been taken in consideration. Saudi Arabia is heading for knowledge based economy and that will boost its economic growth and productivity. Also, KSA is rich in minerals and now diversifying its source of energy aiming for Solar and Nuclear. I guess KSA is doing just fine don't you think?

in what?

saudi arabias exports

Saudi Arabia ranked 34th in the Human Development Index (HDI) of 2014 out of a total of 187 countries and territories.
Saudi Arabia’s HDI value increased from 0.583 to 0.836, an increase of 43.3 percent, or an average annual increase of about 1.10 percent, between 1980 and 2013.
The current figure is considered very high within the global indicator.
According to the 2014 Human Development Report released by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) office in Riyadh on Thursday, human development is improving in Arab states, with some countries showing very high development.
Still, there remain wide variations between these countries, as the region faces several challenges that can hinder progress.
Qatar ranks first among Arab countries in the index, while Sudan scores lowest. The region is ahead in terms of per capita income, at $15,817, which is 15 percent higher than the world average. The region, however, trails global averages in life expectancy and years of schooling.
The report, entitled “Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience,” provides a human development perspective on vulnerability and proposes ways to strengthen resilience.
The report points to major challenges in the region, including conflict, youth unemployment and inequality, which have created overlapping vulnerabilities that, if left unchecked, can hamper human development now and in the future.
“By addressing vulnerabilities, development progress and human development will become increasingly equitable and sustainable,” UNDP Administrator Helen Clark said in her report.
Ongoing conflicts in Syria and elsewhere in the region have severely affected families and created the world’s largest population of displaced people and refugees who face daunting economic and social challenges, the report says.
Women and children, who make up the highest proportion of displaced people, face overlapping deprivations, the report adds.
They often live in poverty without access to public services, such as basic health care and education. Such deprivations can cause lasting health problems, including mental health complications, and contribute to lost livelihoods, undermining long-term capabilities.
Saudi Arabia has a Gender Inequality Index (GII) value of 0.321, ranking it 56 out of 149 countries in the 2013 index.
Meanwhile, 19.9 percent of parliamentary seats are held by women and 60.5 percent of adult women reach at least a secondary level of education, compared with 70.3 percent among their male counterparts.
For every 100,000 live births, 24.0 women die from pregnancy related causes, while the adolescent birth rate is 10.2 births per 1,000 live births. Female participation in the labor market is pegged at 18.2 percent, compared with 75.5 for men.

What the fuсk export diversity has anything to do with HDI? HDI reflects quality of life and opportunity which Russia lacks.

Soudi has one of the highest oil reserve in world..... So money flow will never stop.......

But the most important point is, Using the oil reserves properly..... There are other nations who also has rich oil reserves, but way low in HDI......Good job SA

Congrats Saudis .............
But i cannot believe that Japan was pushed back to 17th place. Japan used to in top 10.

 

[As is - where is]

Talk about a slow recovery.

 

[al-Hasani]

Excellent news.

Can anyone tell that Russian vodka addict that over 50% of KSA's economy has nothing to do with natural resources as of 2014 and that this side of the economy will only grow and grow and that the non-oil/gas part of the economy is the fastest growing? Or that KSA is listed as a top 15-10 economy on almost every economic rapport that deals with future economic forecasts?

KSA is already a regional power and a economic powerhouse (G-20 major economies member state) on a international scale and this position will only be strengthened further in the future.

So keep crying children. Maybe your tears will fill up a oasis or two.

Besides KSA is one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to oil, gas AND minerals and other natural resources.

For instance we have the oldest and biggest gold mine in the ME that has functioned since 5000 years ago and recently diamonds were also found in KSA.

Gem of a find: KSA may have diamond mines | Front Page | Saudi Gazette

Those are very, very rich lands.

And since we are the ancient and indigenous inhabitants (the Arabian Peninsula is the oldest inhabited place on earth after Africa) those are rightly our riches.

Even 1400 years before Islam some of the richest resources/materials were found in Arabia during the first real international trade route.

But let the ignorant army here bark.

In short Allah (swt) decided to bless the lands of his known Prophets, the lands of Prophet Muhammad (saws) the Sahabah and the Ahl al-Bayt and that of the greatest Islamic dynasties and ruling families.

Now all those immense resources should be further used to help the locals, the country and the world in general which also has taken place but more can be done indeed.

If somehow (highly unlikely) the current positive developments should come to a halt and negative ones would reappear I suggest that our PDF gang should make a coup d'état.

@Arabian Legend

Do you have the full report somewhere or do you know where I can see it? I mean so I can see what the report says about each country. It would be interesting. I can't imagine that UNDP have just made a list without any explanation.

Never mind found it!

One just has to click on each country (on the map) and all the data will emerge. Quite a extensive data.
