HDI

This map shows the HDI for each country but what I mostly would like you to look at is Africa. Each country in Africa and its rating. The foreign coloninal control might have something to do with why Sub-Saharan Africa is so low but there are a few other reasons why it HDI is so low. Government problems are a good reason for their Human Developement to be low.
There are 3 categories HDI is put into; High, Medium and Low Human Development. There are sub catergories that each country has to determine their HDI; the HDI value, Life expectancy at birth, Combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratio, and GDP per capita.
Certain percentages give a country the rank in the world. For example, Japan's HDI value is .956 which puts them in rank 8th and Kenya is .532 which puts them in rank 144.
