Human Development & Quality of Life in Georgia
HDI 0.844 · UNDP rank 57 · latest published data
The headline development measure for Georgia is HDI 0.844 in 2023, corresponding to UNDP rank 57 and the very high human development band. Two details sharpen that picture. Planetary pressures reduce the adjusted index to 0.772, a 8.5% change from HDI. Gender development sits close to parity on the GDI measure at 1.009 (UNDP group 1).
What sits inside Georgia's HDI
In this country profile, Georgia's health, education and income inputs are 74.5 life expectancy, 16.8 expected schooling, 12.7 mean schooling and $20,753 GNI per capita in 2021 PPP terms. They belong to the HDI calculation rather than separate DigifyWorld scores.
Inequality changes the headline
IHDI reframes Georgia's HDI by accounting for unequal outcomes within the population. That is a different question from how satisfied people say they are with life.
Gender and planetary-pressure adjustments
Georgia's complementary UNDP indicators include GDI 1.009, GII 0.257, PHDI 0.772. The indicators add context without becoming a single composite DigifyWorld rating.
Quality-of-life coverage is conditional
A comparable life-satisfaction observation was not available in the OECD extract used for Georgia. The absence of a published observation is preserved explicitly.
What Georgia's numbers say together
Taken alongside HDI, Georgia's profile includes IHDI 0.754 with a 10.7% loss; PHDI 0.772 after a 8.5% adjustment; GDI 1.009. Their scopes differ, which is why the page presents them side by side rather than blending them.
HDI for Georgia stands at 0.844 in 2023, with UNDP rank 57. It is a development benchmark based on three dimensions, not an all-purpose national score.
The IHDI is 0.754, and UNDP reports an overall loss of 10.7% relative to the headline index.
The GDI value is 1.009 in group 1; it should be read alongside, not merged into, HDI.
The PHDI is 0.772, with a 8.5% adjustment from the HDI value in UNDP's 2023 table.
Frequently asked questions
What is Georgia's HDI?
For the 2023 observation year, UNDP reports HDI 0.844 and rank 57 for Georgia.
How does inequality affect Georgia's HDI?
UNDP reports IHDI 0.754 for Georgia, which is 10.7% below the headline HDI after inequality across the three dimensions is taken into account.
Why is there no life satisfaction score on this page?
For the 2023 development snapshot, a subjective well-being figure for Georgia is published only when the source supplies a usable observation. An unavailable observation remains omitted rather than estimated.
Is HDI the same as quality of life?
No. Quality of life is broader than the HDI framework, which centres on health, education and income. Life satisfaction is shown only as a separate subjective well-being measure.
