Even though the country moved up to 121th position from 124th place in 2011, out of 187 countries surveyed, Indonesia’s HDI is still below the world average of 0.694 and the East Asia and Pacific regional average of 0.683. Indonesia is classed in the “medium human development” category along with 45 other countries.
