Kazakhstan has risen to the ranks of 50 countries in terms of economic prosperity
With an index of 47.36, Kazakhstan entered the ranking of countries with an average level of well-being, surpassing Russia, China, Turkey and Central Asian countries. The analysis of the World Wellbeing Index was carried out by the Canadian HelloSafe analytical platform based on data from the World Bank and the UN.
One measure of well-being is the Legatum Well-Being Index, which began ranking in 2007. The Legatum Prosperity Index ranks 104 of the world's countries and territories across 167 different variables in twelve categories, including health, education, personal freedoms, safety and security, and business environment.
The most prosperous countries in the world have the highest levels of personal freedom, safety and security, education and healthcare. These countries also have healthy natural environments and conditions that promote economic prosperity through features such as investment protection, favorable business regulations, and sound market infrastructure.
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Luxenburg, Iceland, Germany and New Zealand were among the top ten countries in the ranking of economic well-being.
