What is the human development index for Zimbabwe?

The Human Development Index (HDI) for Zimbabwe in 2021 was 0.535, according to the latest report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This places Zimbabwe in the low human development category, ranking it 150 out of 191 countries.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary statistic that measures a country's progress in health, education, and living standards. It ranges from 0 to 1, with a higher value indicating a higher level of development.

Zimbabwe's HDI score is based on the following:

- Gross national income (GNI) per capita: $857 (2021)

- Life expectancy at birth: 63.3 years (2021)

- Mean years of schooling: 8.2 years (2021)

- Expected years of schooling: 11.5 years (2021)

Zimbabwe has experienced a decline in its HDI in recent years. In 2010, the country's HDI was 0.571. This decline is primarily due to a deterioration in the health and education sectors.
