Top 10 Highly Developed Countries 2014 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/WorldTop10s Twitter: https://twitter.com/WorldTop10s Google +: https://plus.google.com/1052542659091... Here is the countdown of the Top 10 Highly Developed Countries: The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic used to rank countries according to their development levels from "very high" to "low." Countries are placed based on life expectancy, education, standard of living, child welfare, health care, economic welfare, and population happiness. Formulas are used to factor all the variables and determine the scores of countries. Critics have cited the HDI as inaccurate or vague, but coming up with top ten highly developed countries list on my own opinion would have been very subjective and probably badly ranked. Thus, I have simply listed the first ten countries on the HDI and displayed their scores. Enjoy! 10. Denmark 9. Singapore 8. Canada 7. New Zealand 6. Germany 5. United States 4. The Netherlands 3.

Prof. Ivar Lødemel, well-known social policy scholar from Norway has spoken on the history of welfare state in Norway, particularly how social contract formation was achieved through a number of political processes prior to the discovery of North Sea oil in Norwegian waters during the late 1960s, and latest developments and paradoxes in the welfare regimes. He has shown how these welfare state interventions have been critical in placing Norway at the top of the Human Development Index consistently for many years.
