The HDI has played an influential role in the debate on human development. No index is perfect and so is the Human Development Index of United Nations Development Program. This paper aims to measure the performance of 182 countries in terms of performance by means of non-parametric input oriented CRS employed Data Envelopment Analysis. In addition, it elaborates on the cut-off values assigned by UNDP to categorize the countries. By means of this research, countries will be able to choose those elements by benchmarking from other countries that are applicable and most likely to develop strategy formulation processes for human development and international growth.

An Alternative Human Development Index Considering UnemploymentThe Human Development Index (HDI) has played an influential role in the debate on human development (HD) for many years. However, no index is perfect and neither is the HDI of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). This paper aims to construct a new composite index for the development performance of a sample of 30 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries by adding a fourth indicator, namely the unemployment index, to the calculation of HDI. The addition of the unemployment factor to the HDI as a new indicator has the potential to make the index more comprehensive and present a suitable approach for assessing the development performance of countries.

Using Data

This chapter addresses problems related to methodological issues, such as data normalization, weighting schemes, and aggregation methods, encountered in the construction of composite indicators to measure socio-economic development and quality of life. It also addresses the use of several Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models to solve these problems. The models are discussed and applied in constructing a Human Development Index (HDI), derived from the most recent raw and normalized data, using arithmetic and geometric means to aggregate the indices. Issues related to data normalization and weighting schemes are emphasized. Kendall Correlation was applied to analyze the relationship between ranks obtained by DEA models and HDI. Recommendations regarding the advantages and disadvantages of using DEA models to construct HDI are offered.

Method Of Assessment

The article examines and describes the main systems of monitoring the human capital level, under which we represent the leading international organizations (United Nations Development Program, World Bank Analytical Group, World Economic Forum Research Group). The article presents a view on the problems of assessing the level of human capital using the index method of assessment. The purpose of this article is to analyze the systems for monitoring the level of human capital and modernize the index method for assessing the level of human capital, calculated annually by UNDP. As part of the human development index, two new components are proposed that more fully assess the state of the income index — the unemployment index and the wage index. The reason for the change in the calculation method is substantiated, and the final formula for calculating the human development index is derived.

Joint Probabilities

Alternative indicators to the Human Development Index adopting the same components but using other forms of combination are discussed here. The basic idea is to transform the initial measurements into probabilities of achieving the worst performance. Joint probabilities are compared to the proximity to the frontier generated by the algorithm of Data Envelopment Analysis with constant returns to scale and constant inputs to scores applying the Choquet integral with respect to capacities that take into account the substitutability between the components of the index. A high correlation between the results of different forms of composition was found, demonstrating the robustness of the Human Development Index. On the other hand, advantages of different alternatives of composition could be noticed.

Life Expectancy At Birth

To measure the quality of human capital, The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) introduced the concept of human resource capital quality, named the Human Development Index (HDI). HDI is based on three dimensions i.e.: life expectancy at birth, literacy rate, mean years of schooling, and purchasing power parity. In this study raised the issue of the high illiteracy rate in Cibadak, Banten Province and the low expectation for old school. The situation will certainly be a barrier to the development process and economic growth through the human development index. The results showed that factors that could cause low educational status and illiteracy were grouped by researchers in research indicator variables, namely education, family, external environment, and information factors. The local government must pay more attention to this situation, because human resources are the driving wheel of the economy. The people really need care like reading and writing training assistance from the local government.

RESUMOObjetivo: O objetivo é responder a seguinte indagação: os Relatórios de Desenvolvimento Humano globais, elaborados no marco do Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento, adotam a concepção de trabalho decente?Metodologia: Utiliza-se de abordagem dedutiva procedimental bibliográfica lastreada em análise de documentos oficiais, apoiada por bibliografia específica sobre os temas correlatos. Para tanto, elegeu-se para exame os Relatórios de Desenvolvimento Humano Global editados desde a adoção da concepção do Trabalho Decente pela OIT até o ano de 2015, onde foi publicado o RDH temático “O Trabalho como Motor do Desenvolvimento Humano”.Resultados: Concluiu-se haver dado um movimento gradativo de convergência conceitual que, todavia, apenas alcança sua plenitude com o RDH de 2015, ao adotar, de maneira inequívoca, a concepção de Trabalho Decente, o fazendo na qualidade de fator de reforço do Desenvolvimento Humano.Contribuições: A pesquisa contribui para os estudos a respeito do trabalho como elemento inolvidável do Desenvolvimento Humano, tendo por campo de investigação as manifestações da cooperação internacional.Palavras-chave: cooperação Internacional; desenvolvimento humano; trabalho decente; relatórios de desenvolvimento humano. ABSTRACTObjective: To answer the following question: do the global Human Development Reports, prepared within the framework of the United Nations Development Program, adopt the concept of decent work?  Methodology: A deductive bibliographical procedural approach based on the analysis of official documents supported by specific bibliography on related topics. The global Human Development Reports published since the adoption of the Decent Work concept by the ILO until 2015 were chosen for examination, where the thematic HDR “Work as the Engine of Human Development” was published.Results: It was concluded that there was a gradual movement of conceptual convergence that, however, only reached its fullness upon the HDR of 2015  by unequivocally adopting the concept of Decent Work as a factor of reinforcement of Human development.Contributions: The research contributes to studies on work as an unforgettable element of Human Development, having as field of research the as manifestations of international cooperation.Keywords: International cooperation; human development; decent work; human development reports.

Corruption Perception

This paper aims to estimate the effect of corruption (represented by data of Corruption Perception Index) and human development (represented by data of Human Development Index) on the economic growth (represented by data of Gross Domestic Product) in 44 (forty-four) countries who join the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). this paper uses multiple linear regression with panel data of Corruption Perception Index from transparency.org, Human Development Index from United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Gross Domestic Product from World Bank. The 10 years range of data (2009-2018) finds the Corruption Perception Index does not have a significant effect on the economic growth, but The Human Development Index has a positive significant effect on the economic growth or Gross Domestic Product. It can be seen that the commitment of OIC countries in human development is on the right path, since they are in line with their economic growth rates. When viewed together, the Corruption Perception Index and the Human Development Index have a simultaneous influence on the economic growth. So, this result is important to help the OIC as additional references to their Annual Summit or Conference to focus more on Human Development strategy to enhance the economic growth.
