All I've done here is take the UN Human Development Index, (developed by Mahbub-ul-Huq of Pakistan and Amartya Sen of India), HDI 2010 rankings and bolded the ones that apply to the Facebook West Asia and Africa Arab "Democracy Movement" Nation States -- Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya. Persons who are interested might ask questions about the HDI rankings and how these might relate to civil society development within the geopolitical constraints faced by these nation-states. [ I have to come back to keep working on this for my own understanding of HDI and Social Justice/Greater Collective Good - GCG- concepts. Still haven't been able to find an economist to help me with an index for the GCG].
At this time I simply don't have enough evidence, aside from these UNDP rankings, to gauge what civil society development trajectories might look like in the case of each Arab nation-state currently engaged in "democracy movements".
Having said that, it is difficult to fathom how slipping CIA operatives into Libya plus airstrikes by NATO can hold the key to civil society development and social justice thru access to education, healthcare, housing, jobs.
Below is a list of all countries by Human Development Index as included in a United Nations Development Program's Human Development Report released on 4 November 2010, compiled on the basis of estimates for 2010. It covers 168 UN member states (out of 192) and Hong Kong, China. 24 UN member states are not included due to lack of data. The average HDI of regions of the World and groups of countries are also included for comparison.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to distinguish whether the country is a developed, a developing or an under-developed country, and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life. The index was developed in 1990 by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq[2] and Indian economist Amartya Sen[citation needed].
Countries fall into four broad human development categories, each of which comprises 42 countries (except for the second category, comprising 43 countries).[3] The divisions are:
Division comprising:
Very high 42 countries
High 43 countries
Medium 42 countries
Low 42 countries
Due to the new methodology adopted in 2010 HD Report, its HDI figures appear lower than the HDI figures in previous reports.
Starting in the report for 2007, the first category is referred to as developed countries, and the last three are all grouped in developing countries. The original "high human development" category has been split into two as above in the report for 2007.
Some older groupings (high/medium/low income countries) have been removed that were based on the gross domestic product (GDP) in purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita, and have been replaced by another index based on the gross national income (GNI) in purchasing power parity per capita.

increase = increase.

decrease = decrease.
Similar HDI values in the current list do not lead to ranking ties, since the HDI rank is actually determined using HDI values to the sixth decimal point.
This revision of the index was released on 4 November 2010 and estimates the HDI of countries for 2010.
The number in brackets represents the number of ranks the country has climbed (up or down) relative to the revised estimates for 2007, released on 5 October 2009.
