Human Development Report 2014

 Levels in human development continues to rise – yet the pace has slowed for all regions and progress has been highly uneven, according to the latest Human Development Index (HDI) included in the 2014 Human Development Report “Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience”, published today by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Brief facts from the Human Development Report 2014:

Almost 1.5 billion people in the world are multidimensionally poor—with overlapping deprivations in education, health and living standards. 

800 million in the world are at risk of falling back into poverty.

Nearly 80 percent of the global population lack social protection.

More than 200 million people a year, most of them in developing countries, are affected by natural disasters.

The number of people displaced by conflict or persecution is the highest in 18 years —45 million by the end of 2012.
