In our era of globalization and global competition, the question of whether global competitiveness is sufficiently reflected to the level of human development is one of the important issues to be questioned. The objective of this study is to determine the global competitive forces of the countries according to three separate income groups (high-income, high-income and low-income) and their relative activity in reflecting the level of human development through the Data Coverage Analysis (VZA). In this framework, data from 50 countries in the high-income group, 33 countries in the high-income group and 29 countries in the low-income group were used. The main requirements for the 2016 year of the countries concerned (Income 1 - G1), efficiency enhancing factors (Income 2 - G2), innovation and diversity factors (Income 3 - G3) were used as input; national income per person (GNI) (Exit 1 - C1), life expectancy in birth (Exit 2 - C2), school expectancy (Exit 3 - C3) and average school expectancy (Exit 4 - C4) were used as input. After all, it is found that the countries in the high-income group have a higher average than the countries in the other income groups, and that the performance of the effective countries can reflect the global competitiveness to the level of human development is that each effective country is good within its own income group.
