CANADA FOURTH BEST PLACE TO LIVE: UN survey

Norway tops UN human development index Agence France-PresseOctober 5, 2009 9:02

Ottawa CitizenPARIS - Norway takes the number one spot in the annual United Nations human development index released Monday, while Canada ranks fourth in the list.

The top ten countries listed on the index are: Norway, Australia, Iceland, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, France, Switzerland and Japan.

The index compiled by the UN Development Program (UNDP) ranks 182 countries based on such criteria as life expectancy, literacy, school enrolment and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.

The United States ranks 13th, down one spot from last year.

China moved up seven places on the list to rank as the 92nd most developed country due to improvements in education as well as income levels and life expectancy.

Colombia and Peru rose five spaces to rank 77th and 78th while France — which was not part of the top 10 last year — returns to the upper echelons by moving up three places to number 8.

The UNDP said the index highlights the grave disparities between rich and poor countries.

A child born in Niger can expect to live to just over 50, which is 30 years less than a child born in Norway. For every dollar a person earns in Niger, 85 dollars are earned in Norway.

This year´s index was based on data from 2007 and does not take into account the impact of the global economic crisis.

"Many countries have experienced setbacks over recent decades, in the face of economic downturns, conflict-related crises and the HIV and AIDS epidemic," said the UN development report´s author Jeni Klugman.

"And this was even before the impact of the current global financial crisis was felt."

Afghanistan, which returns to the list for the first time since 1996, is the only Asian country among the bottom ten which also include Sierra Leone in the 180th spot, just below the Central African Republic.

Niger ranks at the very bottom, just below Afghanistan.

You know, it would be far from truth if I say I don´t like Canada. Cuz it has breathtaking scenery(Rockies, Northern Lights) that I always fond of. The only one and biggest gripe I have is, the immigration system which sucks so bad. It puts you in limbo for long time before you can actually move in. That just waste of applicants time. I wish it has robust and swift system like that of Singapore.

Hithere, Nordic countries are good for European or American people..but not for African/asiaan since it´s damn hard to get even a cleaning job..

Beside that, Nordic countries don´t ahve any immigration law as Australi or Canada..so forget that.

Yes, child care /maternity leave is very usefull. For examp. a mother can get paid holiday until the child is over 3 yrs old. If the mother does not have working history at all ; still she will get 600€/month.And father get 3weeks paid holiday..

So, in that sense it´s good.

but some still bitch and complain about how terrible Canada is.

If #4 is not good enough, I guess people should reconsider the idea of immigration all together.
