More than 40 countries of the South had greater gains on the HDI between 1990 and<br />

2012 than would have been predicted from their previous performance on the HDI<br />

HDI, 1990<br />

Note: Countries above the 45 degree line had a higher HDI value in 2012 than in 1990. Blue and grey markers indicate countries with<br />

significantly larger than predicted increases in HDI value between 1990 and 2012 given their HDI value in 1990. These countries were<br />

identified based on residuals obtained from a regression of the change in log of HDI between 2012 and 1990 on the log of HDI in<br />

1990. Countries that are labelled are a selected group of rapid HDI improvers that are discussed in greater detail in chapter 3.<br />
