Re: HDI The United Nations Development Programme has not given the DPRK an HDI since the late 1990s. In 1995, the United Nations Development Programme gave the DPRK a Human Development Index score of 0.766.[1] A 2008 United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific paper estimated the Human Development index of the DPRK at 0.733, a decrease of 3.3%. [2] The other three countries have recent HDI scores, but they may be inaccurate as all three countries are engaged in some form of civil war. Somalia is ranked at the bottom in the 2022 HDI, with a score of 0.380. 2022 is the first year that Somalia was included in the HDI. [3] Syria is next with a score of 0.557 in the 2022 HDI, and has mostly been on the decline since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011. [4] Myanmar is ranked higher with an HDI score of 0.608.
