The Human development index (HDI) of Ukraine reached ***** in 2022, having decreased from the previous measurement. The HDI is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over ***** are considered to have high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower. Ukraine's HDI score has fluctuated over this time period. In 1990 Ukraine's HDI score of ***** implied it was a country with high levels of development but by 1995 this had declined to *****.

Ukraine: Human Development Index (0 - 1): Pour cet indicateur, The United Nations fournit des données pour la Ukraine de 1990 à 2023. La valeur moyenne pour Ukraine pendant cette période était de 0.716 points avec un minimum de 0.661 points en 1996 et un maximum de 0.779 points en 2020.

The average for 2023 based on 44 countries was 0.898 points. The highest value was in Iceland: 0.972 points and the lowest value was in Ukraine: 0.779 points. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Using micro-data on six surveys–the Gallup World Poll 2005–2023, the U.S. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1993–2022, Eurobarometer 1991–2022, the UK Covid Social Survey Panel, 2020–2022, the European Social Survey 2002–2020 and the IPSOS Happiness Survey 2018–2023 –we show individuals’ reports of subjective wellbeing in Europe declined in the Great Recession of 2008/9 and during the Covid pandemic of 2020–2021 on most measures. They also declined in four countries bordering Ukraine after the Russian invasion in 2022. However, the movements are not large and are not apparent everywhere. We also used data from the European Commission’s Business and Consumer Surveys on people’s expectations of life in general, their financial situation and the economic and employment situation in the country. All of these dropped markedly in the Great Recession and during Covid, but bounced back quickly, as did firms’ expectations of the economy and the labor market. Neither the annual data from the United Nation’s Human Development Index (HDI) nor data used in the World Happiness Report from the Gallup World Poll shifted much in response to negative shocks. The HDI has been rising in the last decade reflecting overall improvements in economic and social wellbeing, captured in part by real earnings growth, although it fell slightly after 2020 as life expectancy dipped. This secular improvement is mirrored in life satisfaction which has been rising in the last decade. However, so too have negative affect in Europe and despair in the United States.

In 2023, Ukraine and Qatar topped the Gender Development Index (GDI) with index scores over ****. On the other hand, Yemen reported the lowest index, with only ****. The higher the value, the smaller the gap between women and men. The Gender Development Index (GDI) is basically a ratio of Human Development Index calculated separately for women and men.
