Country W is classified as a high-income country according to its GNI per capita (measured by the World Bank Atlas method). In terms of its human development indicator (HDI), Country W is in the ‘very high’ human development category, ranked thirty-eighth in the world.
Figure 1 shows how the HDI has changed over time — steady improvement throughout the period since 1990, and narrowing the gap between it and the UK. Figure 2 shows the poverty headcount for Country W and for the region in which it is located. This measures the percentage of the population living below the UNDP’s poverty line of $3.10 per person per day. You can see how this has declined substantially over the period.
