Baku / 09.12.19 / Turan: The UN today released the Human Development Report-2019.
As noted in the document, according to studies by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), 20 percent of human development progress was lost due to the uneven distribution of access to education, health and living standards.

The report covers 189 countries, which are divided into 4 groups.
In the first group, “Highest Human Development,” the leading five were Norway, Switzerland, Ireland, Germany and Hong Kong, which is part of the PRC.
Russia, occupying the 49th place, also ended up in this group.
Azerbaijan fell into the second group “High Human Development”, taking 87th place.
Its neighbors Georgia, Armenia and Iran are located in the 70th, 81st and 65th places respectively.
The group “Average human development”, for example, includes Kyrgyzstan (122), Tajikistan (125) and Pakistan (152).
Finally, in the Low Human Development group, Burundi (185), South Sudan, Chad, the Central African Republic and Niger (186-189 places) close the five outsiders.
“Inequality begins even before birth and worsens as the baby grows.
This necessitates an increase in allocations for education, health and nutrition for children. This should continue throughout the entire life, as it affects earnings and productivity in the labor market,” the report said.
UNDP concludes that in countries with the highest productive labor forces, power is not concentrated in the hands of only one group of people. Strong trade unions operate in these countries, and a high minimum wage and social protection are guaranteed, as well as ample opportunities to attract women to the labor market. -16d06-
