a well-lived life is not only about having material wealth according to social scientists. The sensibility is reflected as a result of the Quality of Life sub-ranking survey.
Based on a study that examined more than 17,000 global citizens from four different regions to evaluate opinions of 78 countries on 76 different metrics, the countries which rank best in 2021 are formed in connection with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and BAV Group. Basing on a fairly weighted average of scores from nine country characteristics that relate to the quality of life in a country gives the quality of Life sub ranking. The characteristics are affordable, politically stable, a good job market, economically stable, income equality, family-friendly, safe, well-developed public education system, and well-developed public health system. The best-ranking countries have an overall weight of 13.88% Quality of Life sub ranking score.
People consistently see a small group of nations as acting best at contributing to their citizens. Canada ranks No. 1 overall for providing a good quality of life for the sixth consecutive year. the North American country is ranked as No. 1 by survey respondents for having a good job market, ranked No. 2 for being politically stable, and No. 3 for having a well-developed public education system. The North American country is viewed as maintaining the fourth-best developed public health care system. Canada is ranked in the top 10 in all but one of the nine attributes, affordability which is one of the attributes in nine characteristics was dominated mostly by the Asian countries. Hence Canada is ranked in the top 10 in all but dominated by Asians in affordability.
Denmark, Sweden, and Norway immediately follow Canada, with Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, and Germany are the Seven European countries that are ranked in the top 10 and also achieving in the top 10. Australia and New Zealand also are in the top 10 countries in Quality of Life.
Countries noted to provide a lower quality of life perform most poorly in areas concerning personal security and economic possibility. Countries that have the bottom of the quality of life ranking are Iraq, Lebanon, and Uzbekistan, followed by El Salvador, Serbia, and Azerbaijan. The Dominican Republic – which ranks 53rd for quality of life – finishes last for its public education system, while Colombia (60th for quality of life) places last for safety.
The United States ranks No. 20, down five spots from last year, by survey respondents for providing a good quality of life. Even though it placed No. 4 for its job market, the country placed No. 51 for affordability.
