↑As the UN does not recognize the Republic of China (ROC) as a state, the HDI report does not include data for "Taiwan, Province of China" (the term used by the UN to refer to the domain of the Republic of China; see Political status of Taiwan). The ROC's government calculated its HDI as of 2005 to be 0.932 based on the following data: life expectancy of 77.4 years; adult literacy rate of 97.3%; combined gross enrollment rate of 100%; and GDP per capita (PPP) of US$28,552. If it were included in the UN's HDI figures as of 2005, the ROC would rank 23rd as same as Israel. National Statistics, R.O.C.
