MOST AND LEAST LIVABLE COUNTRIES.

Most Livable Countries

The Human Development Index (HDI), published annually by the UN, ranks nations according to their citizens' quality of life rather than strictly by a nation's traditional economic figures. The criteria for calculating rankings include life expectancy, adult literacy, school enrollment, educational attainment, and adjusted real income.

Rank - Country

1. Norway

2. Iceland

3. Australia

4. Ireland

5. Sweden

6. Canada

7. Japan

8. United States

9. Switzerland

10. Netherlands


Least Livable Countries

Rank - Country

1. Niger

2. Sierra Leone

3. Mali

4. Burkina Faso

5. Guinea-Bissau

6. Central African Republic

7. Chad

8. Ethiopia

9. Burundi

10. Mozambique

This list was compiled and published in 2006 by Transparency International.

See! Nigeria is not on the list of 'Least livable countries'. Hopefully, oneday, we'll be on the list of 'Most livable countries'.

It's so sad to realise that all the least livable countries in the world are in Africa

why on earth would you even assume nigeria would be among the top ten least liveable countries in the world? it wouldn't even be on the top 30 least liveable countries list. i know it is not a great country (not even a good one)but there are some really messed up countries in the world especially in africa and asia.

I'm also very surprised that Nigeria's not in the list. But then, look at the most mass killing of students in US and the many ones before then... at least the situation in Naija is not that crazy
