So in this paper for Globalization four individual indicators of economic, political, technical and intended for human development, education, life expectancy third of GDP is considered. The figures based on World Bank data and extracted the two variables with correlation coefficients and associated application software Startgraf rate (r) between globalization and human development variables measured and the number represents 76%. The research findings show a direct relationship exists between the processes of globalization and human development. Outcome measures that countries should strive to improve its human Development indicators and growth in the world do. This article describes the research method in library and information collection methods to extract figures from the World Bank and UN tracts valid library resource is valid.

2 expanded and therefore any change or any Data Collection Methods: In this study of library economic shocks, social or political impact on other resources to gather the necessary resources and the latter countries to make the world appear. What is the point of is used. These resources include the annual World Bank this is that globalization has enormous benefits for the publication, inform the UN, the UN Human Development countries of the world. But it is betting that the country Report, Yearbook of the Islamic Republic of Iran and other must be prepared to accept change is a result of income-related books and articles and are valid.

This forced the countries authoritative sources of international scientific to prepare and develop the infrastructure that the publications and statistics and documents used in development of human capital in the country to deal with international organizations. the phenomenon of globalization is the development of human capital or HCD say. So, with all indicators of Data Analysis Method: In this study, the Spearman globalization on human development indicators have correlation coefficient method to discover the relationship improved their rank within the country to expand in this between globalization and human development indicators regard. The process of globalization can be associated are used. Independent variable or the impact of with the Human Development Index or HDI was globalization and human development and xi and yi is the evaluated. This article is intended to identify this dependent variable or reception. The accuracy of the relationship. calculations and multiple indicators of each variable (index 13) and third in the global Human Development Index has Research Objectives: According to the study of also been used Startgraf software. globalization in relationship with human index (Hdi) is the main goal of this research.

Research: Because this study seeks to analyze the situation and relations between those variables and the method are applied to the description of library information is based on the human development indicators and indicators of globalization as well as their relation to the basic variables are weighed together. So try this method on an analysis of the relationship between two variables and their impact will be.

However, in these three main indicators of human development are: World Indices: According to the study of globalization and the integrity required for the issue of globalization is Life Expectancy: Considering the future of health in considered indicators that the economic indicators is not hopes of reducing infant mortality and only due to other factors that are referred to below, the elderly. including four general indices and 13 partial indicators as follows: Education: Literacy level of illiteracy of the number of schools, universities. 1.

Foreign contracts Human Development Index (HDi): Today, one of the effective tools to measure a country's welfare level and compared them with people of other countries, the human development index (HDi) is. The origin of this index can be searched at the United Nations Development Programmed Human Development Report's human development reports since 1990 have started. Pakistani economist, called this phenomenon "a popular ul-haq" is Gross Domestic Product: level per capita rate of domestic production and national income investments to combat poverty. Factors Associated with Global Human Development Index: In this study the relationship between globalization and human development indicators have. Every change that occurs due to globalization and even has an obvious impact on the human mind is a gradual change in the way of thinking and expectations of the community and in enhancing human development indicators. Scientists have previously acknowledged that the connection is between these two indicators, but that is how this relationship has not been assessed. Therefore, we point out that the process of globalization on human life and on all issues surrounding. The human impact of this relationship is meaningful and measurable. Conceptual Framework for Research: As mentioned above, this research globalization forcing nations to promote human development. This country is due to the impact of human development indices, global indices indicate that these two variables are correlated. Yet this relationship as a model is provided below: 956
