Islamabad: 22 December 2020: The latest Human Development Index (HDI) report has shown that Pakistan is languishing at the 154th position out of the 189 countries in the world who were evaluated.
Pakistan lags far behind other South Asian nations such as India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh in the latest index. Rich countries including Norway, Ireland, Hong Kong (China), Iceland, and Germany led the rankings. The US came in at 17. The poorest countries on the earth, including Niger, the Central African Republic, Chad, South Sudan and Burundi had the lowest scores in the HDI measurements.
The index compares countries on indicators of health, education, and standards of living. However, this year, it included two more elements: a nation’s carbon dioxide emissions and material footprint that put enormous strain on the planet.
