the analysis period at a higher level than its income and health scores, but it had a flat rate of growth prior to 2005. Cambodia’s income score was lower than education before 1995. Its income score began to exceed its educational score in 1996, but was then surpassed by the education score around 2005. The HDI, as the combined score, increased quickly between 1980 and 1985, then it steadily increased between 1985 and 2000, and then sped up after 2000.
CHINA HDI BETWEEN 1980 AND 2013 Over the entire analysis period, China’s health HDI component was the highest of its HDI component scores. China’s per-capita income component starts out with the lowest value of the three components, but rises very fast and passes China’s education component in about 1990. With the exception of the per-capita income component, the other two components seem to diminish their annual rise after about 2010. The general rise in all three components results in a constantly increasing HDI score.

TURKEY HDI BETWEEN 1980 AND 2013 The education component for Turkey’s HDI starts out a little lower than China’. Similar to China’s education component, it remains the lowest of the three HDI components throughout the analysis period. The annual rate of increase in the education component accelerates in the 21st Century, compared to its rate of increase in the 20th Century. Turkey’s health component starts the analysis period at a little lower level than China’s health component, but the health components in both countries continually rises over the period. Turkey’s health component exceeds its income component in about 1995.
KOREA HDI BETWEEN 1980 AND 2013 The health component in Korea is quite similar to the health component in China. Both are the highest of the three components throughout the entire analysis period; both start at about the same levels and end at about the same lev-
