This is a list of the first-level administrative divisions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), including all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and special administrative regions in order of their Human Development Index (HDI), alongside the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan). The 2018/2019 figures for PRC/ROC divisions come from the Subnational Human Development Index (SHDI), published by the Global Data Lab at Radboud University. This report did not cover Macau, a special administrative region of the PRC. Only divisions of Mainland China are ranked in the list as China's average figure which given by the UNDP Human Development Report is exclusively for mainland only.

Notes:

  1. ^ Compared according to the dataset, but not given in the original source.
  2. ^ Jump up to: a b Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China.
  3. ^ Macao's HDI is not included in the SHDI database or any UNDP annual report. According to the 2021 annual report published by Statistics and Census Service of the Government of Macao Special Administrative Region, the HDI for Macau was 0.922 in 2019.[3]
  4. ^ Taiwan is under separate rule by the Republic of China as a de facto independent state since 1950, but is claimed by the People's Republic of China as a province. The ROC also claims the mainland as its constitutional-defined territory.[4]
  5. ^ In the 2018 Subnational Human Development Index (SHDI) Database, from which the HDIs of every first-level administrative regions of China except Macao are acquired, Taiwan's HDI was 0.880.[5] However, from 2019 onward, Taiwan and Hong Kong are no longer included in the SHDI Database among Chinese divisions.[1] By contrast, the HDIs which published by the Statistical Bureau of Taiwan in its 2019 & 2020 reports were displayed as 0.911 in 2018, and 0.916 in 2019 respectively.[6][7] The cause of discrepancy was due to lack of available national data in the UNDP database for Taiwan. The SHDI claimed that the data collection for Taiwan was also derived from the Taiwanese Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics;[8] in this list the latter source is used as primary data.
  6. ^ Figures refer to mainland China only.[9]
