This is a list of countries by the Human Development Index as included in the United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report organized by continent or other international regions.

The final HDI is a value between 0 and 1 with countries grouped into four categories depending on the value, very high for HDI of 0.800 and above, high from 0.700 to 0.799, medium from 0.550 to 0.699 and low below 0.550.[1][2]
