Country Comparison

Students will judge which country is the “best” place to live based on the metrics and indices. While doing so, students should see how democracy and capitalism affect the Human Development Index (HDI).

All of our lesson plans are created for teachers, by teachers. Feel free to use and adjust this lesson plan as you see fit!
