The headline only mentions Ireland but the article mentions that Finland is also in the same hot seat Ireland is in.



Interesting (to me). Ireland and Finland are 0.948 & 0.949 on the Human Development Index


I don't know whether those numbers are good or bad.


It is out of 1.0 so they are very good.


I don't either but they are right next to each other, so nobody can accuse causation :)

(Another pair is Sweden-Germany: 0.959)

Update: by good or bad I took you to having meant whether they are reliable or not. Oops!
