Fiji has scored 83.0% in the latest Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) report for 2025, reflecting how well the country is fulfilling quality of life rights based on its level of income.
The HRMI assesses countries using an income-adjusted benchmark, measuring what a nation should be able to achieve given its available resources.
Fiji’s highest scores came in the right to food (94.4%) and right to housing (92.2%), indicating strong government delivery in these areas.
The right to work also performed well, with Fiji achieving 86.3% of what is considered possible for its income level.
However, Fiji’s scores were lower in right to education (72.6%) and right to health (69.5%)
The report suggests that while the country is doing relatively well in supporting food security and adequate housing, healthcare access and educational outcomes are areas where improvement is needed.
Compared to other Pacific countries, Fiji is performing close to average in overall quality of life rights.
Fiji’s overall score of 83% places it in the “good” range but the HRMI notes that reaching 100% is possible, especially in areas like health and education, with better policy and investment.
