HDI rank: Is it better to live in Slovakia and Croatia than in Hungary?
Change language:
The Human Development Index (HDI) compares all the countries in the world based on multiple regards. These include aspects such as life expectancy, the average duration of education or GDP. By these standards, the index provides a picture of how good life is in a certain country. But how well, or rather how poorly is Hungary doing right now?
Life expectancy
As we can see from the summary of Penzcentrum.hu, currently Switzerland is at the top with an HDI of 0.962 percent. Hungary among the world’s 191 recognised countries is the 46th with an HDI of 0.846 percent. The life expectancy at birth is about 74.2 years in Hungary. By this metric, Hungary is only slightly in front of countries like Romania or Serbia, where the life expectancy is only 74.2 respectively. In this case, Hungary performing very poorly as in Switzerland people are expected to live 84 years. Even in neighbouring countries such as Austria or Slovenia, it stands at 80.7 years.
School attendance
In many European countries, the duration of school attendance is very high. In Belgium, for example, people spend on average 19.6 years in education. In Austria and Slovenia, it is 17.7 years respectively, but in Hungary, it is only 15 years. In this regard, Hungary is doing very poorly only being ahead of countries like Slovakia (14.5 years), Serbia (14.4 years) and Romania (14.2 years). We have to keep in mind that these are the results from 2021 so the future of education might even be in a worse situation by now.
Who’s surprised? And who’s to blame? I guess it’s the opposition? Certainly not the people in charge.
What countries had their hands tied behind them for 40 years and confiscation of property and destroy the religion and culture. Hard to believe what a incredible place dispute what it has gone through- the very basis that made this country was severely damaged and still needs work and the EU is doing its best to destroy what’s left. I’m sure this a Soros funded study.
