As the global community celebrates the 52nd World Development Information Day, let's have a look at some of the most developed countries in the world as per the Human Development index (HDI).
The Human Development Index is a composite measure of development in a country, encompassing three key aspects: life expectancy, years of schooling, and standard of living.
HDI is measured on a scale of 0 to 1.00, with a score below 0.55 considered low and a score above 0.80 considered very high.
