Human Development & Quality of Life in Uzbekistan
HDI 0.740 · UNDP rank 107 · latest published data
In UNDP's 2023 index data, Uzbekistan has HDI 0.740 and rank 107, which corresponds to high human development. The aggregate hides useful detail: The income component uses GNI per capita of $8,826 in 2021 PPP dollars. The profile also records that the gender-development lens adds GDI 0.951 in UNDP group 2, which is kept separate from the headline HDI.
What sits inside Uzbekistan's HDI
Uzbekistan's HDI can be read through four underlying inputs for 2023: 72.4 life expectancy, 12.5 expected schooling, 11.9 mean schooling and GNI per capita of $8,826 in 2021 PPP dollars. The components are inputs to HDI, not independent country league tables.
Gender and planetary-pressure adjustments
Beyond HDI, Uzbekistan's UNDP profile also reports GDI 0.951, GII 0.291, PHDI 0.702. These measures remain distinct because they measure different aspects of development.
Quality-of-life coverage is conditional
This profile does not show a verified comparable life-satisfaction value for Uzbekistan. No proxy is inserted for a value the source does not report.
What Uzbekistan's numbers say together
Taken alongside HDI, Uzbekistan's profile includes PHDI 0.702 after a 5.1% adjustment; GDI 0.951. Reading them together is useful, but combining them would obscure their different definitions.
UNDP reports a 2023 HDI of 0.740 for Uzbekistan, with rank 107. That headline measure is useful for development comparison, but it is not a complete quality-of-life score. When looking across the UNDP tables, do not infer an unstated comparison because the surrounding measures answer different questions.
The GDI value is 0.951 in group 2; it should be read alongside, not merged into, HDI.
The PHDI is 0.702, with a 5.1% adjustment from the HDI value in UNDP's 2023 table.
Frequently asked questions
What is Uzbekistan's HDI?
For Uzbekistan, the 2025 UNDP report publishes a 2023 HDI value of 0.740 and rank 107.
Is an inequality-adjusted HDI available for Uzbekistan?
IHDI is omitted for Uzbekistan because UNDP does not provide a usable value in the cited table.
Why is there no life satisfaction score on this page?
For the current profile, a subjective well-being figure for Uzbekistan is published only when the source supplies a usable observation. A missing source value is shown as unavailable.
Is HDI the same as quality of life?
No. UNDP's HDI focuses on longevity, education and income. A subjective well-being observation is contextual information here, not an HDI component.
