Finland has been ranked amongst the ten most prosperous countries in the world by the Legatum Institute Prosperity Index 2013. In 2013 index Finland ranked eight in overall prosperity, third in entrepreneurship and opportunity, and fourth in safety and security.
The think tank measures countries in five years period based on their overall prosperity, economy, education, governance, entrepreneurship and ownership, health, safety and security, personal freedom and social capital.
Norway was ranked as the most prosperous country in the world, followed by Switzerland, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark, Australia, Finland, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Finland raised in the entrepreneurship and opportunity sub-index by two places as a result of an increase in the ICT infrastructure, royalty receipts, and a perception that working hard can get one ahead.
The country dropped four places in overall prosperity due to decrease in the gross domestic savings, high-tech exports, and confidence in financial institutions, as well as an increase in unemployment levels.
The least prosperous countries were those impacted by war, or the countries where freedom of expression is limited, and education is in a low level. These countries include Chad, Congo, Central African Republic, Afghanistan and Yemen.
