HDI
UN wellbeing measure
HDI stands for Human Development Index, a measure used by the United Nations to rank countries by quality of life rather than economic output alone.
It combines life expectancy, education levels, and income per capita into a single score: Norway consistently ranks near the top of the HDI.
Countries are classified as having low, medium, high, or very high human development.
