The Project on Human Development seeks to better understand the economic, social, political and environmental determinants of human development. The Project is supported by the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University. The Development Indicators section organizes data for most nations by broad thematic categories of human development. The Tools for Analysis section provides the means to construct your own indicators of human development. Click here for background information on indicators. The Project is a work-in-progress. We welcome your feedback.
