Canada got first place in the quality of life category due to respondents ranking us as "No. 1 for having a good job market, No. 2 for being politically stable and No. 3 for having a well-developed public education system."

Canada's held the number one spot in this sub-ranking for six consecutive years now, so it seems like people — at least the ones who respond to the yearly surveys that U.S. News bases its annual reports on — are rather content with the standard of living in the Great White North.

And when it comes to winning this year's top spot in "Best Countries for Social Purpose," U.S. News reported that survey participants view Canada as having been committed to social justice and human rights in 2021, as well as having well-distributed political power.

GDP:$1.74 trillion

POPULATION:37.6 million

GDP PER CAPITA, PPP:$46,327

Canada performs very well in many measures of well-being relative to most other countries in the Better Life Index. Canada ranks above the average in housing, subjective well-being, personal security, health status, social connections, environmental quality, jobs and earnings, work-life balance, education and skills, civic engagement, income and wealth. These rankings are based on available selected data.

Money, while it cannot buy happiness, is an important means to achieving higher living standards. In Canada, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is USD 30 854 a year, lower than the OECD average of USD 33 604 a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn about six times as much as the bottom 20%.

In terms of employment, about 73% of people aged 15 to 64 in Canada have a paid job, above the OECD employment average of 68%. Some 76% of men are in paid work, compared with 71% of women. In Canada, almost 4% of employees work very long hours, considerably less than the OECD average of 11%, with 6% of men working very long hours compared with just above 1% of women.

Top reasons to live in Germany:

The German people are easy to warm up to

Stereotypically, the Germans are portrayed as strict, precise and without a real sense of Humour. While rooted in truth to some extent, it’s mostly a case of getting to know the people, especially outside of formal situations. If you’re from a more laid-back culture, the Germans’ directness and fondness for rules, structure and time might come across as blunt or even rude. So, when you’re moving to Germany, it’s all about what you say, rather than how you say it.

Germany provides a high standard of living

The German and European economy, as well as the cultural preference for rules, paperwork and an overall being of orderliness has resulted in a high standard of living. German salaries are quite solid, allowing anyone with a full-time or even a part time job to make a living quite comfortably. To give you an indication, even interns at German companies are paid a proper wage so they too can meet the standard of living.

4.Switzerland

POPULATION:8.58 million

It’s no secret that Switzerland consistently ranks one of the best places in the world to live. In 2021, the OECD Better Life Index found that Switzerland is above average for OECD countries in subjective well-being, jobs and earnings, income and wealth, health status, social connections, environmental quality, education and skills, work-life balance, housing, and personal security.

Most people living in Switzerland are employed (80%) and earn a good salary. Swiss people live an average of 84 years – four years longer than the OECD average. Above all, they’re mostly satisfied with life. On a scale from zero to 10, citizens graded living in Switzerland at 7.5. The OECD average is 6.5.

If that’s not enough to convince you, Switzerland also nabbed the number four spot on the 2021 US News Best Countries list. The survey ranked countries according to 76 attributes that are relevant to the success of a modern country. Furthermore, Switzerland earned a perfect score for safety and political stability. It also received top marks for economic stability, education, and healthcare.

Sweden boasts a high Human Development Index (HDI) score of 0.93, placing the country in the seventh place in world rankings. The HDI aims to measure the overall quality of life in a country and is an aggregate figure comprised of life expectancy at birth, Gross National Income (GNI) and expected years of schooling. Sweden’s HDI is perhaps the best indicator of the overall quality of life and living conditions in the country.

Sweden’s education system is also ranked in the top 10 globally. Education budget amounted to 13.2 percent of total public expenditures, beating the OECD rate of 12.9 percent. Sweden’s school life expectancy, meaning how long the average student stays in school, is 16.1 years.

In terms of employment, 76 percent of people aged 15 to 64 in Sweden are currently employed in a paid position, above OECD average of 67 percent. Currently, 78 percent of men are employed and 75 percent of women, which is well above the international female labor force participation rate of 48 percent. Furthermore, only 1 percent of employees work very long hours, compared to the OECD average of 13 percent.

The Expatica ‘quality of life’ survey enquired into air quality, schools, health care, public transportation and so forth. On the whole, I imagine, the sum total of such factors isn’t notably better or worse in Holland than in other Western countries. So I have been conducting my own little survey, asking both expats and Dutch folk what is good and bad about Holland. Most expats, of course, are here for their careers or relationships and are grateful to have that opportunity.

But their quality of life is marred by the lack of acceptance into a social environment. At best, one Neapolitan and one Columbian asylum seeker said “it’s peaceful here”. An American said “the best thing about Holland is its large international community”. The Dutch have mostly defined the Calvinism and the thinking inside the box (or pillar) as the worst of Holland. On the positive side are the legal, education and health care systems and the overall standard of living. “There’s a lot of places in the world that are much worse”.

The World's Best Countries For Quality of Life

(According to the CEOWORLD magazine)

Finland has been named as the #1 country in the world for Quality of Life, according to the CEOWORLD magazine report, while Denmark and Norway placed second and third, respectively. The rankings placed Belgium in fourth ahead of Sweden into fifth; while Switzerland ranked sixth and the Netherlands seventh. Syria is in the last place behind Sudan, Montserrat, North Korea, and Comoros.

The rankings measure global perceptions of 165 nations chosen because they contribute most to the world’s GDP. More than 258,000 people around the world are asked to evaluate the countries based on 10 metrics ranging from stability to transparency to equality. Overall, among the top 10 best countries in the world for the best quality of life, the eighth, ninth, and tenth positions are held by France, Germany, and Japan.

Being safe, politically stable, and having a well-developed public health system drove Finland’s quality of life ranking to the top of the Best Countries list.

Each attribute was graded on a 100-point scale. Raw data for countries were normalized on a 1-100 scale according to the following: Each individual indicator was given equal weighting within each of ten categories with some indicators being comprised of 2-3 sub-indicators that were also weighted equally. Each category was weighted equally to arrive at the overall index.
