GDI Scores are for India and Pakistan respectively; most British Asians have family roots in these countries. In the GEM comparative database there was a score for Pakistan but not for India, so only the Pakistan figure is included. GDI/GEM scores are from the United Nations Development Report 2007 (http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR_20072008_GEM.pdf, Accessed 2011 Nov 23). Individualism (IND) scores are from http://geert-hofstede.com/countries.html, Accessed 2012 Mar 26). The World Value Survey (WVS) Traditional vs Rational (TRADRAT) and Survival vs Self-Expression (SURVIVALSELF) scores are from http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/wvs/articles/folder_published/article_base_111, Accessed 2012 Mar 26). WVS scores are from the latest survey waves in their respective countries (2000 or 2006).
