This is a list of countries by Human Development Index as included in the United Nations Development Program's Human Development Report 2007/2008, compiled on the basis of 2005 data and published on November 27, 2007. It covers 175 U.N. member countries (out of 192), along with: Hong Kong (SAR of China) and PA-governed territories. 17 U.N. member countries are not included due to lack of data. The average HDI of regions of the World and groups of countries are also included for comparison.

How are you going to measure a year that just started? It takes time to measure something like this.

"The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide."

It isn't numbers, it isn't money, it isn't economic gain, its the human element.
