The Human Development Report is published every year by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). It is released by considering three major dimensions of human development—per capita gross national income (in PPP terms), literacy rate, and life expectancy at birth—which correspond to a decent standard of living, knowledge, and a long and healthy life. The report was first published in 1990.
