UN Human Development Report

The United Nations recently released it's annual Human Development Report. Norway was determined to be the most desirable place to live while Niger ranked lowest of the 182 countries. Malaysia finished in the "High Human Development" category, ranking 66th overall. The ranking system is based on a variety of social, economic, and political factors including life expectancy, literacy rates, crime, etc. The index breaks down the data for each individual country and Malaysia's individual report tells the story of a country which has made tremendous stride confronting poverty and economic development.
