How to read this ranking

Of 195 active countries in the selected scope, 194 have published numeric values for this period. The remaining 1 are excluded, not assigned zero or last place. Missing values, publication status, rights or quality conditions can cause exclusion; this page does not establish an individual cause.

The order is Lowest. Equal unrounded values share a competition rank, with a gap afterwards (1, 2, 2, 4). Selecting a region recalculates positions within that region. Ranks do not assess individual living conditions or whether a country is better.

The default period is the latest eligible same-series period with published numeric values for at least 80% of active countries globally. It can differ from a country card's latest value or two countries' latest common comparison period. Check the period, source, unit and country table above.
