Why isn't the HDI compiled for all UN member countries?

While the data in the Report demonstrate the wealth of human development statistics available, they also reveal many data gaps in basic areas of human development. Not all UN member countries have sufficient data available to calculate the HDI or other indices. However, subject to data availability, we publish data for the 12 UN member countries not included in the HDI in HDR 2009 in each table of the PDF Inline (GIF) Human Development Indicators [922 KB].
