Explanation:

The Human Development Report (HDR) is an annual report published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

• First introduced in 1990 by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, the report evaluates global development beyond just economic growth (GDP).
• It ranks countries using the Human Development Index (HDI), which is calculated based on three key parameters: Life Expectancy (Health), Gross National Income per capita (Standard of Living), and Mean/Expected Years of Schooling (Education).
