Abstract

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations (UN) have both defined developing nations but depend on the country itself to declare whether or not it is still not developed. The Human Development Index (HDI) is easier to understand and is a comparative measure of four parameters-life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for regions worldwide. Countries fall into four broad categories based on their HDI: very high (for developed countries), high and medium (for developing countries), and low (for least developed countries). Alternative classification exists based on the Gross Domestic Product which can classify countries into high- medium-, and low-income group. In this article however, will used the HDI criteria of 2019 for our discussion [1].
