Why aren't all the countries included in the GDI, GEM, and HPI?
Lack of data is a particular constraint in monitoring gender disparity and poverty. Coverage of the GDI in HDR 2007/2008 is limited to 157countries, GEM to 93countries, and the HPI-1 to 108 developing countries and HPI-2 to 19 high-income OECD countries (see also “Why isn’t HDI compiled for all UN member countries?”).
