Norway has been credited to be rich for oil resources, and is a hub for opportunities for oil and petrochemical engineers, with the average lie expectancy being 81 years of life, average annual being 58, 810 dollars and 12.6 years of schooling, and has been on the top of the list since 2001 in the Human Development Index (HDI). They also topped by having an index of all-round performance in the UN Development (UNDP) annual rankings.

The other four countries in the top five best places to live are : Australia, New Zealand, United States and Ireland. 

Finally, an interesting fact to know: The HDI was developed in 1990 by two individuals who are from countries that is far behind in the list, namely, the Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, and the Indian economist, Amartya Sen. India took the 119th position and Pakistan 125th position in the UNDP rankings based on HDI.
