    Data of ten countries: seven countries are classified as ‘developing’ – Bolivia, Cambodia, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Nepal and Tanzania, while three countries – Hungary, Slovenia and USA are designated as ‘developed.’ These countries have the complete HDI and tourist arrivals’ data for the period 1996 – 2019. The study analyses the impact of tourism to human development in ten countries, that also include other variables: jobs, government effectiveness and political stability, using three different panel estimation techniques: random, fixed effect and Least-squares Dummy variables (LSDV).

    Description

    In 2023 Zurich was both the leading smart city based on the IMD smart city index as well as the city with the highest human development index score, making it one of the premier places on earth to live in. Notable exceptions to the HDI to IMD index score were Beijing, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. Beijing is a notable outlier because although it ranked 12th on the digital smart cities ranking it was nearly 90 points lower than Zurich on the HDI score. This is compared to Munich, Germany, which was the 20th digital city but had a HDI score of 950. Smart tech is watching. CCTV cameras powered by artificial intelligence have become a significant growing market in the modern city. These are predominantly residential, with half the market catering to residential applications of CCTV cameras. However, commercial and business-related CCTV cameras have also seen significant growth, with the market reaching over 800 million U.S. dollars in 2023. Digital cities need data and data needs infrastructure. The leading issue with AI infrastructure is data management. AI is a strong influence on how digital cities work and requires a considerable amount of infrastructure to be effective. Storage of AI software is a minor concern, accounting for less than 10 percent of challenges globally in 2023.

    Description

    Island erreichte beim Index der menschlichen Entwicklung (Human Development Index, HDI) im Jahr 2023 einen Wert von ***** Punkten und war damit das Land auf Platz eins des Rankings. Dahinter folgen Norwegen, die Schweiz und Dänemark. Deutschland erreichte mit ***** Punkten Platz fünf. Was ist der Human Development Index? Der Human Development Index, abgekürzt HDI, ist ein Index der menschlichen Entwicklung in den Ländern der Welt. Er wird von den Vereinten Nationen veröffentlicht und gilt als Wohlstandsindikator. Der HDI kann Werte zwischen 0 und 1 annehmen (zur besseren Darstellung wurden die ursprünglichen Werte in dieser Statistik mit 1.000 multipliziert). Je höher der Wert, desto weiter ist die menschliche Entwicklung in den jeweiligen Ländern vorangeschritten. Hochentwickelte Länder weisen einen HDI von mindestens 0,8 auf. Die Zusammensetzung des HDI Der Human Development Index (HDI) ist ein zusammengesetzter Index, der auf drei grundlegenden Dimensionen der menschlichen Entwicklung beruht:

    die Fähigkeit, ein langes und gesundes Leben zu führen, gemessen an der Lebenserwartung bei der Geburt die Fähigkeit, Wissen zu erwerben, gemessen an durchschnittlichen Schuljahren und erwarteten Schuljahren die Fähigkeit, einen angemessenen Lebensstandard zu erreichen, gemessen am Bruttonationaleinkommen pro Kopf

    Description

    In 2024, Switzerland led the ranking of countries with the highest average wealth per adult, with approximately ******* U.S. dollars per person. The United States was ranked second with an average wealth of around ******* U.S. dollars per adult, followed by Hong Kong SAR. However, the figures do not show the actual distribution of wealth. The Gini index shows wealth disparities in countries worldwide. Does wealth guarantee a longer life? As the adage goes, “money can’t buy you happiness,” yet wealth and income are continuously correlated to the quality of life of individuals in different countries around the world. While greater levels of wealth may not guarantee a higher quality of life, it certainly increases an individual’s chances of having a longer one. Although they do not show the whole picture, life expectancy at birth is higher in the wealthier world regions. Does money bring happiness? A number of the world’s happiest nations also feature in the list of those countries for which average income was highest. Finland, however, which was the happiest country worldwide in 2022, is missing from the list of the top twenty countries with the highest wealth per adult. As such, the explanation for this may be the fact that a larger proportion of the population has access to a high-income relative to global levels. Measures of quality of life Criticism of the use of income or wealth as a proxy for quality of life led to the creation of the United Nations’ Human Development Index. Although income is included within the index, it also has other factors taken into account, such as health and education. As such, the countries with the highest human development index can be correlated to those with the highest income levels. That said, none of the above measures seek to assess the physical and mental environmental impact of a high quality of life sourced through high incomes. The happy planet index demonstrates that the inclusion of experienced well-being and ecological footprint in place of income and other proxies for quality of life results in many of the world’s materially poorer nations being included in the happiest.

    Description

    In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.
