Overview
Beyond the essential ideas of broad access to food and housing, to quality
education and health care, to employment that will sustain us, quality of
life may also include intangibles such as job security, political stability,
individual freedom and environmental quality.
What social scientists do agree on is that material wealth is not the most
important factor in assessing a life lived well. The results of the Quality
of Life sub-ranking survey reflect that sensibility.
The Best Countries report and rankings, formed in partnership with global
marketing communications company Y&R's brand strategy firm, BAV Consulting,
and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, are based on a
survey that asked more than 21,000 people from four regions to associate 80
countries with specific characteristics. The Quality of Life sub-ranking is
based on an equally weighted average of scores from nine country attributes
that relate to quality of life in a country: affordable, a good job market,
economically stable, family friendly, income equality, politically stable,
safe, well-developed public education system and well-developed public
health system. The Quality of Life subranking score had a 17 percent weight
in the overall Best Countries ranking. |
