HDI DISAGGREGATION The case of Uzbekistan based on NHDR 2008 on education presented by Elena Danilova-Cross

Highlights Level and type of disaggregation Sources, availability and quality of data Experience with calculation - Life expectancy - Education - GDP

Territorial disaggregation on sub-national level Geographic division: 12 regions + capital + autonomous Rep. of Karakalpakstan

Sources, availability and quality of data Sources Output data provided by the National Statistical Committee Availability complications - outdated data in general Data from HBS (which contain more or less reliable income/expenditure data) is not an open source Quality IMR, population statistics, no estimation of functional literacy, gross vs net enrolment ratio, educational attendance, national poverty measurements (minimum daily nutrition requirement, consumer basket)

Experience with calculation: Life expectancy The average life expectancy index for 2005 was computed on the basis of the demographic data (1-4 years of age and age group ). The computation of mortality coefficients by age groups used as a denominator of the population size in the middle of the period – population size at 31December Complications for comparability: IMR differs from international methodology (life birth definition based on former Soviet criteria) Last population census done in 1989

Experience with calculation Combined Education Index CEI = (Enrolment index + 2 *Adult Literacy Index) / 3 Literacy Coefficient Literacy represents the relative share of population over 18, which is educated enough to read and write according to a definition, used in the methodology for the latest census Net Enrolment Coefficient (NEC) The enrolment coefficient was computed on the basis of data for students, enrolled in general, specialized and professional schools from first and second degree (initial, primary and secondary school) between the ages of 7 and 18, calculated as of 1 October This data is compared to the total number of the population aged 7-18, calculated as of 31 December 2005, according to the formula: NEC = Students 7-18 / Population 7-18 Complications for comparability New educational scheme (3 levels) School attendance and residence

Experience with calculation GDP index The calculation was based on the top-down method since some of the industries have only national –level meaning Real GDP per capita ($PPP) was measured by income, not disposable income or expenditure/consumption The calculations are based on data from the national non-financial accounts by institutional sectors – households, central and local branches of the state administration and enterprises. At a national level this data is regionalized by using municipal information for taxes levied on income of financial and non-financial enterprises; taxes levied on household income and property; subsidies transferred from the central state administration to regional administrations. Due to a lack of information the calculation does not take into account the impact of unemployment at the municipal level. It was hard to evaluate the movement of labour resources

Computation of HDI Computed in compliance with Global HDR methodology Uzbekistan HDI ranking is 113 for last two years
