Why are there fewer countries covered in the 2010 HDI than in 2009?
This year’s HDI has been calculated for 169 countries and territories. Countries not included because of missing data for one or more components are: Antigua and Barbuda, Bhutan, Cuba, Dominica, Eritrea, Grenada, Lebanon, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Oman, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Seychelles and Vanuatu. Micronesia has entered the HDI table for the first time this year, while Zimbabwe has re-entered after not being included in 2009 due to missing income values.
