The correct answer is 1990.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) published its first Human Development Report (HDR) in the year 1990.
The first HDR was a landmark publication that introduced the Human Development Index (HDI) as a new way of measuring development, moving beyond solely economic indicators like GDP per capita. It was conceptualized by Mahbub ul Haq and Amartya Sen, among others.
