“The Prosperity Index tells us that human progress goes beyond economics. Norway and other countries at the top of the Index provide opportunity and freedom to their citizens, access to quality healthcare and education, and provide safe environments for people to flourish in.
“By contrast, those countries or regions of the world where people feel unsafe, where they are forced to flee from their homes, and where the education and healthcare systems are failing do not provide prosperity to their citizens.”
The countries that made the top 10 based on their overall scores this year are:
- Norway
- Switzerland
- Denmark
- New Zealand
- Sweden
- Canada
- Australia
- Netherlands
- Finland
- Ireland
