What all that GDP growth has done to Peru

The annual UN Human Development Report was published yesterday and Peru, due to worsening comparative standards of health service and education, plus ongoing inequality and environmental damage (UN dixit, not me), has dropped 17 places since 2010 to stand at 80th place.

But don't worry, because a whole bunch of people living in central Lima can afford new Toyotas these days and as they're the people that actually write the news and comment on Twitter you won't have to put up with this type of stuff until this time next year for your next dose of reality about Peru. Style > substance every time.

Best in the region is Chile, up one spot to 44th. Argentina follows in 45th of the 185 world countries surveyed.
