The UNDP Human Development Index ranks Lithuania as #41 among the world’s 55 most developed countries.
This index is part of the United Nations Human Developement Report.
Norway, followed by Sweden, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands lead this ranking. The report also provides other indicators that countries use to measure development. Belgium, Iceland, USA, Japan and Ireland, which are among the top 10 in the ranking, are considered as the most comfortable countries for human activities.
Slovenia, which is 27th in the ranking, has the best living standards among the new EU member states.
The living standards and development index is based on the life expectancy, education and the standard of living of the population.
The current UN index is based on the data of 2002.
