You might want to look at the IHDI, inequality-adjusted human development index.
It takes the life expectancy, years of education, and GNI (PPP) per capita, and adjusts it for inequality.
Ideally it shouldn’t even take GNI into account, imho (but an economic type-agnostic system, that takes the environment into account as well).
The top 15 is:
-
Iceland (Nordics)
-
Norway (Nordics)
-
Denmark (Nordics)
-
Switzerland (Central Europe)
-
Netherlands (Western Europe)
-
Belgium (Western Europe)
-
Finland (Nordics)
-
Germany (Central Europe)
-
Sweden (Nordics)
-
Ireland (Western Europe)
-
Slovenia (Southeast Europe)
-
Australia (Oceania)
-
United Kingdom (Western Europe)
-
Canada (North America)
-
Czech Republic (Central Europe)
The IHDI still has some issues, though, like not taking workplace democracy, environment and sustainability, and public transit into account. Had that been done, Spain probably would rise higher.

As an Aussie I so want to be in France, but they’re not immigrant friendly so that seems out, so I’m stuck in this shit hole
France isnt even on the list.
