*United Nations Development Programme*
2013 Human Development Report *The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a
Diverse World*

*Global launch: Thursday, 14 March 2013, 12:00 PM EST/4:00 PM GMT*

The 2013 Human Development Report examines the profound shift in global
dynamics driven by the fast-rising powers of the developing world – and its
implications for human development.

The South is developing at a pace unprecedented in human history, with
hundreds of millions of people being lifted out of poverty in developing
nations and billions more poised to join a new global middle class

It’s not only the so called BRICS that are at the forefront of the Rise of
the South - Bangladesh, Chile, Ghana, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius,
Mexico, Republic of Korea, Rwanda, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, and Vietnam
are among the human-development high achievers highlighted.

An updated *Human Development Index (HDI)* will also be released in the
2013 Report. The HDI measures national progress in health, education and
income.

*The Report is strictly under embargo until Thursday, 14 March 2013, 4:00
pm GMT. The global launch will take place in Mexico City in a ceremony with
United Nations Development Programme Administrator Helen Clark and
President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto.*
