Most developed countries have an HDI score of 0.8 or above, landing them in the very high human development tier. These countries have stable governments, widespread affordable education and healthcare, high life expectancies and quality of life, and growing, powerful economies.
The Human Development Index ( HDI) is a statistical composite index of life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling completed and expected years of schooling upon entering the education system ), and per capita income indicators, which is used to rank countries into four tiers of human development.
These HDI values are not just numbers; they represent the overall development of these countries and their commitment to ensuring a high quality of life for their citizens. 10 Countries with the Highest Human Development Index (HDI) Values: Switzerland - 0.962; Norway - 0.961; Iceland - 0.959; Hong Kong - 0.952; Australia - 0.951; Denmark - 0.948
