The Economist Intelligence Unit worked on an ingenious model for measuring and comparing the quality of life in different countries. The worldwide quality of life index was calculated in 2005 for 111 countries based on factors like:
- Material wellbeing (GDP...)
- Health
- Political stability and security
- Family life
- Community life
- Climate and geography
- Job securities
- Political Freedom
- Gender equality
The best place to live in 2005 was Ireland. At the 7th rank, we can find Iceland, at the 13th rank the USA and the United Kingdom at the 29th rank.
Nowadays, the situation has changed and Ireland is going to recession, Iceland is completely bankrupt and the US is the heart of financial crisis.
So what are your predictions concerning 2009?
