The UNDP has released its annual human development global report. It utilizes an index to measure human development. In the report it states " The HDI is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. A long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy. Knowledge level is measured by mean years of schooling among the adult population," so according to the report Belize is not doing so bad, it states, quote, "The country shows a pattern of slow but consistent improvement in its HDI ranking since 1990. Belize ranks 103 out of 189 countries which puts Belize in the high human development category.
The report gives a more detailed breakdown as such "Between 1990 and 2018, Belize's HDI value increased from 0.613 to 0.720, an increase of 17.5 percent. Between 1990 and 2018, Belize's life expectancy at birth increased by 3.3 years, mean years of schooling increased by 3.9 years and expected years of schooling increased by 2.4 years.
