<P> Poverty reduction has not kept up with GDP growth rates, largely due to the high unemployment rate, high inflation rate and wide income inequality . The official rate of unemployment for 2012 in the Philippines was 6.5 percent . </P> <P> There is a great contrast between the achievement of tertiary education by family heads belonging to the lowest 30% and the highest 70% . From the 3 to 24 - year olds who attended school during the year 2010 to 2011, only 4% of those under the poverty line were in college, while 18% of the highest 70% were in college . From the data concerning 6 to 24 - year olds from the lowest 30% who had not attended school during the year 2010 to 2011, the two highest reasons for not attending were "lack of personal interest" at 28.9% and "high cost of education" at 26.8% . </P> <P> The Human Development Index, as defined by the United Nations, is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and having a decent standard of living . For the Philippines, the HDI increased by 16.5% between 1980 and 2013 . The country ranked 117 out of 187 countries in 2013 . The HDI in 2013 was 0.660, which implied that the Philippines was under the medium human development group (which needs an HDI of 0.614). The nation's HDI was higher than the average for countries in the medium human development group, but lower than the average of the countries in East Asia and Pacific (0.703). </P> <P> The Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) discounts each dimension's (health, education and income) average value according to its level of inequality . Inequality pulls down HDI by 18.1% in the Philippines, which makes the IHDI equal to 0.540 . As in the HDI, the country's IHDI is higher than the average of medium human development group, which is 0.457, a 25.6% loss due to inequality . The IHDI value of the average in the countries of East Asia and Pacific was 0.564, which was still higher than the Philippines' . </P>
