Abstract
In the report, we conducted the HGDI measurement for 123 countries. In the choice of countries, we mainly considered two elements: firstly, the data integrity. All candidate countries should have relatively complete data for at least 11 indicators. Otherwise, they are excluded in the index measurements; secondly, all internationally recognized non-sovereign entities including dependencies, territories and other geographic areas are not listed as countries for measurement.
