The worlds 173 countries are ranked according to their level of human development. Usually every HDR focuses on some key issue such as democracy. Country by country assessment of trends towards achieving the UN MDGs (United Nations Millennium Development Goals联合国千年发展目标) is also given. Warming up by getting to know what human development is The concept of human development focuses on the ends rather than the means of development and progress. The real objective of development should be to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives. Though this may appear to be a simple truth, it is often forgotten in the immediate concern with the accumulation of commodities and wealth. Human development denotes both the process of widening peoples choices and the level of their achieved well-being. The most critical ones are to lead a long and healthy life, to be educated, and to enjoy a decent standard of living. Additional choices include political freedom, guaranteed human rights and self respect. The concept distinguishes between two sides of human development. One is the formation of human capabilities, such as improved health or knowledge. The other is the use that people make of their acquired capabilities, for work or leisure.
