How NZ is ranking
Have had a quick look through the global country rankings that have come out in the last year or two, to see how NZ is placed. Have to say pretty good overall. Here’s what I’ve got, remembering there are around 200 countries:
- Rule of Law 6th
- Economic Freedom 5th
- Best to do business in 2nd
- Least Corrupt 1st
- Open Data 4th
- Prosperous 5th
- Best to be a woman 7th
- Competitiveness 18th
- Peaceful 3rd
- Democratic 5th
- Human Development 6th
- Best for working women 1st
- Freedom 1st
- Open Budget 2nd
- Best to be a mother 4th
- Humanitarian responses 3rd
- Smallest gender gap 5th
- Generous 1st
- Least failed 7th
- Trade competitiveness 4th
- Social progress 1st
You have to say overall New Zealand is a pretty awesome place!
You also wonder at those who claim the neo-liberal reforms have made New Zealand such an awful place that we need to over-throw them.
