1. Norway
Life expectancy: 81.6 years
HDI score: 0.944
Just like Australia, Norway, the next entry on our list of countries with the best climate for longevity, has a mixed market economy where strategic ownership is exercised by the state. Needless to say, the very high per-capita income makes Norway a desirable place to live. Norway operates one of, if not the, best healthcare systems in the world. All hospitals are owned and operate by the state and medical expenses are carried out by the state for all citizens under the age of 16. After reaching adulthood, Norwegians must pay a deductible each year until they’re eligible for an exemption card. This system clearly works well considering Norway’s number one spot on our list.
