Switzerland is ranked first on the 2024 Human Development Index. Will it keep its top position?

Background

Switzerland currently leads the Human Development Index (HDI) with a value of 0.967, followed closely by Norway (0.966) and Iceland (0.959). The HDI measures three key dimensions of human development: health (life expectancy), education (mean years of schooling), and standard of living (GNI per capita).

Switzerland's high ranking is supported by:

  • One of the world's highest life expectancies

  • A robust dual education system

  • High gross national income per capita

  • Strong healthcare system

  • Political stability

Resolution Criteria

Based on the official 2025 Human Development Report published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), this market will resolve YES if any country surpasses Switzerland in the rankings and NO if Switzerland maintains its #1 position (even if tied with another country).

Considerations

  • The 2025 Human Development Report will likely use 2023 data to calculate its values.

  • The small margin between Switzerland and other top nations (particularly Norway) means minor changes in metrics could affect rankings.
