Intern for the Human Development Report Office

The mission of the Human Development Report Office (HDRO) is to advance human development. The goal is to contribute towards the expansion of opportunities, choices and freedoms people have to live lives they have reason to value. HDRO works towards this goal by promoting innovative development ideas, advocating practical policy changes, and constructively challenging policies and approaches that constrain human development. HDRO works with others to achieve change through writing and research, data analysis and presentation, support to national and regional reports and outreach and advocacy work.

The objective of this internship is to provide the successful candidate with the opportunity to learn about the Human Development Index (HDI) and other composite measures of human wellbeing (including gender (in)equality measures), their policy relevance; and their conceptual and/or empirical strengths and limitations.
