The HDI measures a nation’s quality of life using statistics related to income levels, life expectancy and education levels. Income and education are definitely challenges currently being faced by the government, however, it seems that its focus is meeting the IMF targets so that the loans flowing to the country will continue.
Jamaica’s counterparts in the Caribbean have fared well, especially Cuba, but excluding Haiti, whose development is ranked as “low.” The top nation is Norway, while the bottom nation is Niger.
