It is reported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), published on the official website of the organization.

The Human Development Index is an indicator calculated annually for the intercountry measurement of the quality of life. When calculating it, coefficients based on three main indicators are used: life expectancy, literacy level of population and standard of living.

In total, the rating includes 189 countries. A group of countries with a very high level of human development accounted for 59 states. The rating is headed by Norway. The top three also included Switzerland and Australia.

Many countries of the post-Soviet space came to the next group of states - with a high level of development. Georgia took 70th place, Azerbaijan - 80th, Armenia - 83rd, Ukraine - 88th, Uzbekistan was on the 105th position, and Turkmenistan - on the 108th position. Moldova and Tajikistan fell into the category of states with an average level of development and settled at 112th and 127th places respectively.
