Pakistan ranks 161st on UN’s Human Development Index, amid a global fall in human progress

On the UN’s 2021/22 Human Development Index(HDI) monthly rankings, which combine pointers of health, education, and living norms, Pakistan was ranked 161st out of 191 nations, a warning that multitudinous problems, most especially the Covid-19 epidemic, are halting mortal progress in utmost countries.

Pakistan, which is presently distributed as having low mortal development, was ranked 154th out of 189 countries and homes in the 2020 report.

“Nine out of 10 countries in this time’s mortal development report indicator are shown to have faced a decline,” Achim Steiner, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme(UNDP), said as he launched the Human Development Report(HDR), a flagship study which the program produces annually.

“This has noway happed before indeed during the last ruinous global moment of extremity, the fiscal extremity, only one out of 10 countries faced a decline in mortal development indicators,” he added

The report is the thirty-first in a run that started in 1990. Under the direction of the late Dr. Mahbubul Haq, a former finance minister of Pakistan, the first UNDP Human Development Report(HDR) was created and released.

India placed 132nd among other South Asian nations on the HDI indicator, while Bangladesh came in at 129th, Sri Lanka at 73rd, the Maldives at 90, Nepal at 142, and Bhutan at 129th.

The top-ranked country this time in Switzerland, which is followed by Australia, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Norway, and other rich countries. South Sudan is at the bottom of the list of sub-Saharan African nations in terms of mortal development.

Pedro Conceicao, the report’s primary author, claimed that the profitable downturn and a shocking drop in life expectations were to condemn the unknown decline in mortal development. He added that this includes the 21st-ranked United States, where COVID-19 has dramatically reduced life expectations from 79 times to 76.1 times.

The report’s other recent findings, according to Conceicao, suggest that trust situations worldwide are at their smallest point ever. He added those who are most mistrustful hold the most extreme political views.

“Query and the feeling of instability harden people’s commitments to a group that shares an analogous set of beliefs and increases hostility to other groups that suppose else,” he said. “And digital technology frequently adds energy to this honey of divisiveness. So, as a result, the report documents that popular practices are under stress.”

The report warns instability and polarization are feeding off each other. And that, it says, is precluding nations from taking the collaborative action demanded to address the multiple pitfalls and heads the world is facing.
