In terms of Nutrition and Medical Assistance, Ecuador ranks 75th, three points ahead of the 2016 qualification. The country also ranked from position 66 to position 49 regarding housing.
The report also indicates that Ecuador has the second highest birth expectancy compared to countries with the same level of income per capita, ranking 29th.
Concerning Access to Information and Communications, the country fell from 66 to 85 in the ranking. These and other indicators place Ecuador in the tenth place in Latin America and 55th in the global scale.
