On September 10, U.S. News & World Report released the results of its 2024 Best Countries rankings. This annual survey comes from a partnership between the news publisher and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Among the numerous categories covered in this analysis, U.S. News spotlights a category that’s relevant to expats: which countries have the best quality of life?
The survey describes its Quality of Life rankings like this: a good job market, affordable, economically stable, family-friendly, income equality, politically stable, safe, well-developed public education system, and well-developed public health system. We cover issues like family-friendliness, safety, affordability, and healthcare in the data used in the Expatsi Test.
