List of Philippine provinces and regions by Human Development Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of regions and provinces of the Philippines by Human Development Index (HDI) as of 2019.[1] The HDI is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling completed and expected years of schooling upon entering the education system), and per capita income indicators, which is used to rank countries into four tiers of human development.

Regions[edit]

The HDI values below are based on the preliminary estimates of the 2019 Provincial Human Development Index by the Philippine Statistics Authority,[2] as well as the Global Data Lab estimates published by the Radboud University Nijmegen Center for Economics.[1]
