Human Development Report 2019

The wave of demonstrations sweeping across

countries is a clear sign that, for all our progress,

something in our globalized society is

not working. Different triggers are bringing people onto

the streets: the cost of a train ticket, the price

of petrol, political demands for independence.

A connecting thread, though, is deep and

rising frustration with inequalities.

Understanding how to address today’s disquiet

requires looking “Beyond Income, Beyond

Averages and Beyond Today,” as this Human

Development Report sets out to do.
