The Human development index (HDI) for European countries in 2021 shows that although all of the countries in this statistic have scores which imply high levels of development, Switzerland's score of 0.962 was the highest in this year. The HDI is a statistic that combines life-expectancy, education levels and GDP per capita. Countries with scores over 0.800 are considered to have very high levels of development, compared with countries that score lower.
