Abstract
The globalization brings many economic and social impacts, which could be not only positive. The article contains an enumeration of main causes of different human development in world regions. It is really necessary to better understand the real quality of human life and not just to focus on economic growth only. This is the reason for using an indicator reflecting the quality of human life – the Human Development Index (HDI) – in the submitted paper. The aim of this article is to compare the level of human life in selected countries with their geographical location expressed by degrees of latitude using the Human Development Index (HDI). For comparison and analysis, the UNO data - the HDI development in selected countries of the world in 1990 and 2014 – have been used.
