Slight Improvement in Iranian Human Development Index

Iran advanced one spot to rank 70th among 189 countries in the 2020 Human Development Index, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program. 
Human Development Index is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: A long and healthy life, access to education and a decent standard of living.
In the 30th anniversary edition of the Human Development Report, “The Next Frontier: Human Development and the Anthropocene”, Iran scored 0.783 points, compared with last year’s 0.785 points, which puts the country in the “high human development category”.
HDI classifications are based on HDI fixed cutoff points, which are derived from the quartiles of distributions of component indicators. The cutoff points are HDI of less than 0.550 for low human development, 0.550–0.699 for medium human development, 0.700–0.799 for high human development and 0.800 or greater for very high human development.
