From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of regions and provinces of the Philippines by Human Development Index (HDI) as of 2024.[1] The HDI is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling completed and expected years of schooling upon entering the education system), and per capita income indicators, which is used to rank countries into four tiers of human development.

Regions

These HDI values are from the Global Data Lab,[2] covering the years 2019 to 2022.
