This study aimed to understand the national development from the perspectives of education, economic, and health equity along with gender equality. It also examined how the aspects of equity affected the net enrollment rate in higher education. Education, economic, and health equity, and gender equality were used to construct the index of national development, rank the national development index of countries, and categorize the patterns of national development. The data concerning 129 countries were from the Human Development Report 2013 of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The results were as follows. First, most of the advanced countries have a higher ranking in education, economic, and health equity and gender equality than less developed countries. Among the top five countries in the equity ranking, four were in North Europe; the African countries while countries with low per capital income underwent inequity. Second, the index of national development was stable, and thus the countries can be grouped to ones with high-, middle-, and low-equity. Third, the years of educational attainment, population growth, per capital income, gender equality, and health equity were significant factors affecting enrollment rate in higher education; however, the educational and economic equity were not.
