Residents of specific nations can frequently meet up to help particular causes they feel unequivocally about. Fundamental liberties like religious freedom, education and health facilities are crucial privileges that, unfortunately, many nations do not have. In addition to these simple necessities, financial status, career and educational environment, health and safety etc., are other privileges that many nations miss out on.
Determining the most privileged nations of the world
For the first time in 2021, a ranking of countries globally was conducted based on a detailed and lengthy study of the aforementioned factors. A total of nineteen factors were studied by the ABCD agency to decide the ranking of the most privileged nations in the world.
The study was conducted in a world changed by a noteworthy pandemic, sharp monetary slumps and calls for more prominent racial equality and civil rights.
