In addition, the Norwegian and Swiss governments have taken a series of measures to promote economic growth and social welfare. Norway's public welfare system is considered to be one of the most perfect and generous in the world, while Switzerland is famous for its highly developed finance and manufacturing industry.
However, the developed index is a relatively vague concept, which usually includes many different indicators and factors, such as economic level, education, health, environment, democracy and so on. Therefore, whether Norway and Switzerland are the countries with the highest development index may be different because of different definitions and indicators.
