I read this post from the United Nations about the top five countries and their index about Human Development criteria. I am aware of the Human Development Index and it essentially looks at mortality rates, health, income, education, etc. It's a broad index rating overall health suggesting quality of life. US ranks within the top 5. We are beaten by Norway, Australia, New Zealand. Ireland is in the bottom.
I think it's fascinating to see how government plays a role in the quality of life index. Check out the article. I would love to hear what you think about this.
