The next Human Development Report is scheduled for March or April 2025, and is based on 2023 data.
Background
The Human Development Report (HDR) is a comprehensive assessment published by the United Nations Development Programme that measures quality of life and well-being across multiple dimensions, including health, education, and standard of living. The U.S. consistently ranks among developed nations but faces ongoing challenges in healthcare accessibility, economic inequality, and social indicators.
Key factors that will influence the 2025 report (based on 2023 data) include:
Healthcare system performance and outcomes
Economic conditions and job markets
Social indicators and regional disparities
Access to education and services
Environmental quality and sustainability measures
Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve based on the official 2025 Human Development Report's assessment of the United States, comparing 2023 data to the previous year. Resolution will be determined by:
The U.S. Human Development Index (HDI) value: YES if it shows an increase from the previous year
The market will resolve NO if: The HDI value does not increase.
Considerations
The HDR sometimes revises its methodology or updates historical data, which could affect year-over-year comparisons
The report may be delayed beyond the expected March/April 2025 release date
Regional variations within the U.S. may show different trends, but only the national-level assessment will be considered for resolution
