The Human Security Index of Selected Countries The overall correlation coefficients are high, although, as pointed out above, some individual countries see changes in rankings. The individual indicators in which Pakistan has a relatively low ranking are presented in Table 11.4. There is substantial variation in the HSI among the twelve countries. It ranges from a maximum of 0.575 for Thailand to a minimum of 0.288 for Nepal. Pakistan is in the middle, with a HSI of 0.382. The rank correlation of the components of the HSI with the overall HSI is given below. with Index of Freedom from‘Fear’ Index of Freedom from‘Want’ Index of Freedom from‘Inequality’ Index of Governance Rank Correlation with HSI 0.611 0.916 0.881 0.671 It appears that the HSI is linked more to the indices of freedom from‘want’ and‘inequality’ in the case of the 12 countries. Pakistan does poorly in the former index and better in inequality. The distribution of the index values at the second level are given below in Table 11.4.
