Country remains among nations with high human development.
Survey gathers data on wealth, education and life expectancy.

Study released on Monday (5) by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) shows that Brazil is in 75th place ranking in the Human Development Index (HDI). According to the survey, the socioeconomic conditions improved - on a scale ranging from 0 to 1, the score of Brazil rose to 0.813. Brazil remains among nations with high human development.

The ranking published by the UNDP is formulated from the intersection of information related to wealth, education and life expectancy. The analyzed data correspond to 2007 and do not reflect the effects of international financial crisis, which had its worst time in September 2008.

The novelty in this edition, which has the theme "Overcoming barriers: mobility and human development" is the entry of Liechtenstein, Andorra and Afghanistan in the report, bringing the list of 179 nations to 182.

Bric

The UNDP report also shows that Brazil lost the lead among the nations that make up the Bric bloc of countries in the rapidly developing nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The country has been overtaken by Russia that left the 73 th position to 71 th. HDI Brazil, in 75th place, is the second best ranking since China appears on 92 and India 134. A score of human development in India is 0.612, fits the category of "medium development", the same situation of China, which is 0.772.

In the report released Monday, another innovation was the change at the top of the list. Iceland, then in the first place, dropped to third, while Norway has left the second position to take the lead in the HDI ranking.

The survey this year also features a new category, the country's HDI very high. She adds nations with index greater than 0.900.

Luxembourg was the only one to lose a place in the top ten countries with HDI "very developed". He left the 9 th place and now occupies the 11th place. France, which occupied that position now appears in 8th place. Japan, Iceland and Canada also lost positions but remain in the top ten.

The United States of America appeared in 15th place last year and this year appeared two places ahead in 13th. At the bottom of the table, the last place ranking went to Niger, the African country reported that HDI of 0.340. Is the penultimate in Afghanistan (0.352), followed by Sierra Leone (0.365), which was placed in the last survey 2008.

The report shows a huge discrepancy between the quality of life for residents of countries belonging to the group of developing very high compared with those with the lowest HDIs. According to the UNDP's report, a child in Niger has life expectancy of just 50 years, 30 years less than in Norway. Moreover, for every dollar earned in South Africa, U$ 85 are awarded in Norway.
