Kazakhstan has reaffirmed its leading position among CIS and Central Asian
countries in terms of human development. According to the latest Human
Development Index (HDI) released by the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), Kazakhstan ranked 60th out of 193 countries and territories worldwide.
The ranking assesses not only economic indicators but also the overall quality
of life. It takes into account factors such as life expectancy, education, and
citizens' incomes. Among CIS countries, Kazakhstan is followed by Russia,
Belarus, and Armenia. In Central Asia, it is followed by Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. Over the past three decades,
Kazakhstan's human development index has increased by more than 20%. Following
a decline during the pandemic, the indicator not only recovered but also
reached an all-time high.
