Quality of Life rights (or 'economic and social rights') include the rights to food, health, education, housing, and work. HRMI gives two scores, measuring against two different benchmarks.

  1. Kyrgyzstan scores 87.3% on Quality of Life when scored against the 'Income adjusted' benchmark.This score takes into account Kyrgyzstan's resources and how well it is using them to make sure its people's Quality of Life rights are fulfilled.

    This score tells us that Kyrgyzstan is only doing 87.3% of what should be possible right now with the resources it has. Since anything less than 100% indicates that a country is not meeting its current duty under international human rights law, our assessment is that Kyrgyzstan has some way to go to meet its immediate economic and social rights duty.

  2. When measured against the Global best benchmark, comparing Kyrgyzstan to the best performing countries in the world, Kyrgyzstan's score is 79.8%, indicating that it has some way to go to meet current Global best standards for ensuring all people have adequate food, education, healthcare, housing and work.

Compared with the other countries in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is performing lower than average on Quality of Life rights (this comparison is calculated using the 'Income adjusted' benchmark).
