Commitment to development
The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have the most effective policies to help poor countries, according to a report by the Center for Global Development, a think-tank in Washington, DC. The report grades 21 rich countries each year on how well they support development in poor countries. Each country is assessed on its policies in seven areas including aid, migration, investment and trade. Denmark and Sweden rank highest on aid-giving. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and America give less aid but are more open to trade with poor nations. Austria and Switzerland are the most accessible countries for migrants from the developing world. Greece and Japan are ranked at the bottom of the overall index
