NOTES
j HDRO calculations based on recent data from Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys.
a Because disaggregated income data are not available, data are crudely estimated. See Definitions and Technical note 4 at http://hdr. undp.org for details on the methodology.
Value
k HDRO calculations based on data from the 2011 population census from Samoa Bureau of Statistics (n.d.). l HDRO estimate based on country’s most recent Demographic and Health Survey data.
c Data refer to the most recent year available during the period specified.
DEFINITIONS
e Calculated by the Singapore Ministry of Education. f For the purpose of calculating the HDI for men, estimated earned income is capped at $75,000. g Based on UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2011).
Mean years of schooling
(years)
b Countries are ranked by absolute deviation from gender parity in HDI values.
d HDRO update based on data on educational attainment from UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013b) and methodology from Barro and Lee (2013).
Life expectancy at birth
Gender Development Index: A composite measure reflecting disparity in human development achievements between women and men in three dimensions—health, education and living standards. See Technical note 4 at http://hdr.undp.org for details on how the Gender Development Index is calculated.
h Based on data on school life expectancy from UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013a).
Ratio of female to male HDI: Ratio of female to male HDI values.
i Based on the estimate of educational attainment distribution from UNESCO Institute for Statistics (2013a) .

healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living. See Technical note 1 at http://hdr.undp.org for details on how the HDI is calculated Life expectancy at birth: Number of years a newborn infant could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth stay the same throughout the infant’s life. Mean years of schooling: Average number of years of education received by people ages 25 and older, converted from educational attainment levels using official durations of each level. Expected years of schooling: Number of years of schooling that a child of school entrance age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrolment rates persist throughout the child’s life. Estimated gross national income (GNI) per capita: Derived from the ratio of female to male wage, female and male shares of economically active population and GNI (in 2011 purchasing power parity terms). See Technical note 4 at http://hdr. undp.org/ for details.
