Added on: 6th Dec 2015
ACCORDING TO THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX
SOUTH KOREA
Since the partition in 1948, South Korea has left its northern half in
the dust and developed into a major world economy.
HONG KONG
In the past it was the land of farmers and fisherman, today it has become
one of Asia’s strongest economies and consequently is also one
of the most densely populated.
UNITED KINGDOM
A major player in the realm of global politics, it is the world’s first
Industrialized country and still boasts one of the largest economies
although the last century saw its role as a superpower
decrease significantly.
ICELAND
Along with Ireland, the land of fire and ice was hit particularly hard
by the 2008 global financial crisis. Its future looks bright, however,
as it boasts a highly educated workforce, plenty of natural resources
and that uniquely Nordic brand of social cohesion.
SWEDEN
With high standards of living, excellent life expectancy, and advanced
social welfare, Sweden consistently tops the list of the most developed
post industrial nations in the world.
IRELAND
Although its economy suffered some of the worst effects of the 2008
world financial crisis, Ireland is also showing itself to be very
quick at recovering.
DENMARK
Known for its modern economy and strong system of social welfare,
Denmark has played a larger role in global politics than its size
would suggest.
SINGAPORE
This wealthy, high tech city state is known for its conservative
leadership and strict social policies.
