The Human Development Report (HDR) was first launched in 1990 with the single goal of putting people back at the center of the development process in terms of economic debate, policy and advocacy. Since the first report, four new composite indices for human development have been developed — the human development index, the gender-related development index, the gender empowerment measure, and the human poverty index. Each report focuses on a highly topical theme in the current development debate, providing path-breaking analysis and policy recommendations.
AAPOR urges all practitioners to use these standardized sample disposition codes in all reports of survey methods, no matter if the project is proprietary work for private sector clients or a public, government or academic survey. This will enable researchers to find common ground on which to compare the outcome rates for different surveys.
