HDI and human rights

Latest comment: 10 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Perhaps the HDI should be drastically reduced for countries abusing human rights or engaged in war or genocide. 2001:569:508E:6A00:FD74:E206:96A4:8056 (talk) 01:45, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

We go by what reliable sources say. You're probably looking for a different index, such as the democracy index. Although on second thought, that's not quite right either. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:37, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Clipping of table and graphic in '2023 Human Development Index (2025 report)' Section

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm noticing a strange clipping behavior in the section mentioned. The table becomes overlaid by the graphic and it prevents reading the data. I'm using Safari Version 26.3 (21623.2.7.11.6) on a 15 inch MacBook Air. The clipping can be managed by changing the dimensions of the browser. I've been unable to tell what in the section code could cause this effect. I've included a screenshot of the behavior. Tmay3124 (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
