Norway best place to live in the World, says the UNDP
The UN ranked Norway as the best country to live in for a sixth consecutive year
Norway is followed by Iceland and Australia. Ireland, Sweden, Canada, Japan, the US, Switzerland and the Netherlands, in that order. China is ranked 81st, while European nations like Denmark (15th), France (16th), Italy (17th), Britain (18th), Spain (19th) and Germany (21st) have similar levels of human development. Niger, Sierra Leone, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Burundi and Mozambique are ranked the lowest in the spectrum.
Despite wealth, high levels of education, low unemployment, and an economic boom, Norwegians often complain of high taxes and of weaknesses in their cradle-to-grave welfare state, such as waiting lists at hospitals and a shortage of public care for both children and the elderly.
