Let therefore have a look at the top 10 highly developed countries in the world according to the Human Development Index. The ranking is solely based on how peaceful the country is and its infrastructural development and education and so there is no doubt a lot goes into the index.
10. Denmark – 0.900
Denmark is ranked number 10 as the most developed country in the world indexing 0.9 according to the research from the Human Development Index.
