Figure 24: Annual growth rate in HDI of OIC Member States by income groups between 1990

and 2015

Source : Own calculations from UNDP (2016)

Note: The rates are calculated as the annual compound growth rate.

Although the HDI value increases with income, the association between income and HDI rank is

more ambiguous at the country level for the given income groups. The last column o

f Table 5

includes the difference between HDI rank and gross national income (GNI) rank for different

income groups. This difference is -6.1 on average for OIC implying that human development lags

behind the economic prosperity in the OIC member states in general. This difference is much

smaller for low and lower-middle income countries (2.1 and 0.6 respectively). However, it is

considerable higher for upper-middle income and high income countries. The difference for high

income group is almost -30 implying that this group was not able to translate its wealth into

human development as much as the other high income countries.

Note: The averages are unweighted. That is, each country in the groups has the same weight irrespective of its

population.

Table 5 a

lso represents the level of different component of HDI. On OIC average, the life

expectancy is 67.4, the expected and mean years of schooling is 11.3 and 6.6 respectively and

GNI is $14,621. The level of all the 4 parameters increases by income group. For low income

group, the level of life expectancy andmean years of schooling are much lower than OIC average.
