The report for 2006 was launched in Cape Town, South Africa on November 9, 2006.  Norway is first again.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standards of living for countries worldwide.

AWESOME!  Looking at second and first, i am completely happy to accept 3rd. They are uber European countries.


But when i think about it...

Australia has a major health and water problem, is spewing out a LOT of pollution per head of capita and has been in drought for a long while, plus our infrastructure isnt really up to scratch...

That is why being literate is more important than having electricity. Go Norway and Iceland!

Literacy is great!
But so is free energy: both have an abundance of waterpower, Iceland has her geothermal power and Norway some black gold.

Considering that, some of those other countries must be pretty fucked up...

Anyway, it is a pretty interesting list.

So aren't countries with very few people going to end up higher ranked?

Within the ten first countries the only two with a great population are Japan and US (7th and 8th), and that's an achievement, because it's easier to get higher standards in countries with few people.  I don't get how Israel is 23th.  Argentina is 36th and it has only 40 million people in the 8th largest country in the World.  Our politicians suck, thieves and liars.

Unfortunately, the U.S. has been falling in the HDI.  A lot of this is due to the rising poor population in America (mostly due to immigration) and the large rural population that often lives in areas with lower quality education systems (and less job opportunities).
