World’s third largest economy India Ranks #130 on the Human Development Index

With a population of 1.2 billion, India is the largest democracy in the world according to a survey by Forbes magazine, coming after the United States and China. India has also the most billionaires in the world. According to the results of “World Economic Outlook Database”, prepared by the IMF on October 6 2015, India is the world’s third largest economy ($ 8,027 trillion).  Does this make India rich? Until 1947, before independence, there was almost no billionaire. The question that should be asked is closely associated with the development history of India.

UNDP’s Human Development Index that is prepared annually continues to research India for the last fifteen years. In 1991 India was ranked 133rd , and in 2016 out of 187 countries, it still ranks #130.  With a large population and a small minority benefiting from economic growth;UNDP data also shows that 2.8 billion people try to maintain their lives with 2 American Dollars per day.

The failure to develop a health and education system to cover large audiences in countries like India, cause no improvement within human development index. In fact, India’s Human Development record works in a way our planet functions. 35% of the world ‘s third largest economy represents a group between 5-24 years of age, about 430 million people. The Indian government will allocate an expenditure of only 3.4% on education from the state budget. This fact alone can indicate how little India spends time on human development and inclusive growth.

Together, Truly

Human development is a broad concept; it has many variables and there are esteemed civil society groups dedicated to these variables. We at İNGEV first wanted to contribute to the improvement of income distribution, to increase the skilled employment and to fight against poverty. We want to contribute by raising awareness, bringing up recommendations to the decision makers through social policy…

Norway is #1 for the last 12 years…

Norway is chosen once again 12 years in a row to be the most livable country in the world. Norway is followed by a small difference –  Australia and Switzerland comes second and third.

There are three aspects that combine’em all. It is pretty simple:

Health, education and life expectancy.

England comparing to others are stepping up, and came up 14th in rankings. The life expectancy inEngland is right now 14th

  • England is number 14 on the list.
  • When life expectancy in England is 80.7, and is selected 2nd most livable in the world, after Norway with the average of 81.6 age.
  • In education, Australia takes the lead by 20 years according to Human Development Index. Luxembourg is on the 19th place while Qatar ranks 32nd with 13.9 years of education.
  • Japan ranks 19th while war-torn countries like Libya has fallen 27 ranks, so does Syria with 15 ranks and now Libya is #94 and Syria ranks #134.  World’s biggest democracy India is still on a deadlock and ranks #135 while it has the 3rd biggest economy in the world with 1.28 billion population.
  • Some of the very highly developed countries within the Human Development Index are Israel #29, Greece #49 and Montenegro comes last in this category.
  • When we look at the highly developed countries, Turkey ranks #72 followed by Jordan, Serbia, Malaysia.
  • From 106-143 countries, they are labeled as developed countries and those countries are the ones with less life expectancy, education and health. African west coast country “Sao Tome and Principle is a part of this category.
  • One of the least developed country according to Human Development Index is Kenya with 145th spot on the list. This category is also comprised of countries such as as Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Eritrea, Central Africa Republic and Niger.
  • For a better understanding, least developed countries are far more behind those that are very highly developed. For instance, life expectancy in Central African Republic is 30 years less than in England.

United Nations Development Program is 50 years old

United Nations Development Programme that was established by the United Nations to create a global network for the development turned 50 years old.

How well do we know this half-century institution?

Here is a concise history of UNDP…

UNDP in November 22,1965, was established with the partnership of United Nations Special Fund and EP (Extended Programme of Technical Assistance).

In 1971 the two institutions have united under the name of UNDP where United Nations Special Fund helped with technical assistance to expand the coverage area, and the EPA assisted and operated in the economic and political problems of under-developing countries.

Focused on developing countries, to have better living standards, UNDP set out the program with the mission of providing necessary information, experience and resources; and supporting projects on development by collaborating with governments, civil society organizations, academia and business environments.

New York-based UNDP, in 166 countries, has offices supporting the development by working with local governments. UNDP continues to  to help countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

UNDP hosted “Istanbul Development Dialogue”

UNDP-backed “Istanbul Development Dialogue ” was held in Istanbul, Turkey.

Concerns about global inequality are rising and it continues to demolish the foundations of sustainable development expectations through different channels.

The concept of inequality is not a new concept, however a new question is brought to the attention of the world where not only verbal but real action can be put into practice.

On the other hand, taking into consideration the global perception and  best ways to fight against inequality, the transition of Europe and Central Asia’s emerging economies still haven’t established a mutual relation. In these developing economies as well as in other parts of the world, there are similar inequality and vulnerability problems in hand. That’s exactly what UNDP will draw attention to in its ” Istanbul Development Dialogue” on February, 9-10.

The main topics discussed at the meeting:

-Correct Measurement of Income Inequality

-Exclusion in the LaborMarket, Employment and Social Security

-Gender Inequality

-Inequalities and Health

-Inequalities, Management and Peace Building

-Inequality, Natural Capital and Resource Management
