%X This paper a Malmquist productivity index group performance for two time period applicable for measuring human development index. Those objections human development index (HDI) as one of the methods proposed in the year (1990) introduced and each year is used in report human development UN to resolve it. One of the main source of development, productivity and it is obvious that knowing the factors influencing productivity for managers, economists and policymakers is essential. The Malmquist index evaluates the efficiency change over time. In the non-parametric framework, the DEA-based Malmquist productivity index group performance for two time period can be decomposed into two components: one measures the input technical efficiency change and another one measures technological change between two periods. The new approach is applied to the some countries of the Asia as A group and the some countries of the Europe as B group. Human development is benchmark on the basis of empirical observations of best practice group, and we can the comparison of Progress and decline A and B groups performance.
