Armenia ranks 69th in UNDP Human Development Index

ArmInfo.  Armenia ranks 69th in the Human Development Index, according to the Human Development Report 2025 released by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).  A message from the UNDP Yerevan office received by ArmInfo notes that the report presents the 2023 HDI  for 193 countries and  UN recognized territories.

"Armenia's HDI value for 2023 is 0.811, which put the country in the  high human development category, positioning it at 69th out of 193  countries and territories," the message says.  It is emphasized that  between 1990 to 2023, Armenia's HDI value changed from 0.663 to  0.811, a change of 22,3 percent. "Between 1990 and 2023, Armenia's  life expectancy at birth changed by 8.0 years, mean years of  schooling changed by 1.6 years, and  expected years of schooling  changed by 3.2 years. The country's  GNI  per capita changed by about  229.3 percent between 1990 and 2023," the report says.

According to a report released by UNDP today, human development  progress is experiencing an unprecedented slow down. The report shows  how artificial intelligence could reignite development.  Instead of  seeing sustained recovery following the period of the exceptional  crisis of 2020-2021, the report reveals unexpectedly weak progress.

The 2025 Human Development Report- " A Matter of Choice: People and  Possibilities in the Age of Artificial Intelligence", analyzes  development progress across a range of indicators known as the Human  Development Index (HDI), which encompasses achievements in health and  education, along with levels of income. Projections for 2024 reveal  stalled progress on the HDI  in all regions across the world.
