List of administrative divisions of Greater China by Human Development Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Province-level divisions
of China by:

This is a list of the first-level administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), including all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and special administrative regions in order of their Human Development Index (HDI), along with the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan). The subnational and national average figures for the PRC/ROC division are mainly derived from the Subnational Human Development Index (SHDI), published by the Global Data Lab at Radboud University. The index does not cover Macau, a special administrative region of the PRC. Only divisions of Mainland China are given ranking numbers in the list as the national HDI for China, which is calculated by the annual UNDP Human Development Report, is exclusively applied to the mainland.

Notes:

  1. ^ a b Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China.
  2. ^ Taiwan is under separate rule by the Republic of China as a de facto independent state since 1950, but is claimed by the People's Republic of China as a province. The ROC also claims the mainland as its constitutional-defined territory.[3]
  3. ^ The HDI annual report compiled by the UNDP does not include Taiwan because it is no longer a UN member state, and is neither included as part of the People's Republic of China by both of the UNDP and SHDI reports when calculating data for China.[4][1] Taiwan's Statistical Bureau calculated its HDI for 2022 to be 0.925 based on UNDP's 2010 methodology,[5][6] which would place Taiwan at 24th globally in 2022 within the 2024 UNDP report.
  4. ^ Macao's HDI is not included in the SHDI database or any UNDP annual report. According to the 2024 annual report published by Statistics and Census Service of the Government of Macao Special Administrative Region, the HDI for Macau was predicted at 0.925 in 2022.[7]
  5. ^ Figures refer to mainland China only.[8]
