Canada has slipped out of the top 10 countries listed in the annual United Nations human development index — a far cry from the 1990s when it held the first place for most of the decade. The 2013 report, which reviews a countrys performance in health, education and income, places Canada in 11th place versus 10th last year. A closer look at the trends shows Canada actually did better than last year, but other countries such as Japan and Australia improved at a greater rate. When the numbers are adjusted for gender inequality, Canada slumps to 18th place. The United States fares even worse -- sinking from third to 42nd place. cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-drops-out-of-top-10-most-developed-countries-list-1.1357269
