Canada has dropped to No. 6 on the UN Human Development Index, which ranks 177 countries each year in terms of health, education, life expectancy, income, poverty levels and environmental quality.
Canada held the top spot on the list from 1992 until 2001, when it dropped to No. 3. It took fifth place in 2005.

Norway tops list for 6th straight year.

According to the study, Norwegians earn 40 times more than the study's lowest-ranked country, Niger, live almost twice as long, and have nearly five times the literacy rate.
