Human Development & Quality of Life in Grenada
HDI 0.791 · UNDP rank 80 · latest published data
With HDI 0.791 for 2023, Grenada sits at rank 80 in UNDP's latest table and falls in the high human development group. The page therefore does not stop at the composite. Education combines 16.6 expected years of schooling with 9.4 mean years already attained. It also keeps in view that the income component uses GNI per capita of $14,349 in 2021 PPP dollars.
What sits inside Grenada's HDI
For Grenada, health contributes through life expectancy of 75.2; education through 16.6 expected and 9.4 mean years of schooling; and income through GNI per capita of $14,349 in 2021 PPP dollars. Those are the published inputs behind the 2023 HDI. For a like-for-like reading, preserve the distinction between level and distribution so the source year is not silently treated as the publication year.

Why is there no life satisfaction score on this page?
