Human Development & Quality of Life in Lithuania
HDI 0.895 · UNDP rank 39 · latest published data
In UNDP's 2023 index data, Lithuania has HDI 0.895 and rank 39, which corresponds to very high human development. More revealing for this profile, a separate life-satisfaction observation of 7.20/10 for 2023 is available, so experienced well-being can be shown without folding it into HDI. At the same time, inequality produces a visible but not dominant adjustment, taking HDI 0.895 to IHDI 0.812 with a 9.3% loss.
What sits inside Lithuania's HDI
In the UNDP data used here, Lithuania's health, education and income inputs are 76.0 life expectancy, 16.5 expected schooling, 13.6 mean schooling and $41,916 GNI per capita in 2021 PPP terms. They belong to the HDI calculation rather than separate DigifyWorld scores.
Inequality changes the headline
The inequality-adjusted measure for Lithuania applies a distribution penalty to the same three HDI dimensions. It should therefore be read alongside HDI, not as a separate life-satisfaction score.
Gender and planetary-pressure adjustments
For Lithuania, the available complementary indices are GDI 1.022, GII 0.070, PHDI 0.751. These measures answer different questions, so they are kept separate. When using this figure elsewhere, do not infer an unstated comparison so the number is not mistaken for another indicator.
A separate quality-of-life signal
The page can add a comparable subjective well-being result for Lithuania, 7.20/10 in 2023. Life satisfaction is shown only as a separate subjective well-being measure.
What Lithuania's numbers say together
Lithuania's non-headline measures include IHDI 0.812 with a 9.3% loss; PHDI 0.751 after a 16.1% adjustment; GDI 1.022; life satisfaction 7.20/10 (2023). Reading them together is useful, but combining them would obscure their different definitions.
UNDP reports a 2023 HDI of 0.895 for Lithuania, with rank 39. That headline measure is useful for development comparison, but it is not a complete quality-of-life score.
The IHDI is 0.812, and UNDP reports an overall loss of 9.3% relative to the headline index.
The GDI value is 1.022 in group 1; it should be read alongside, not merged into, HDI.
For Lithuania, the page shows a life-satisfaction observation of 7.20/10 from 2023. Life satisfaction adds a different perspective and is therefore not folded into HDI.
