In a new ranking assessing the quality of life for expats in different countries around the world, the Netherlands secured a spot in the top 10, making it one of the best countries to live and work in 2021 and beating the likes of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
Expat Quality of Life Ranking 2020
The ranking was put together by Blacktower Financial Group, which helps to provide financial advice for British citizens living abroad, and assessed the quality of life offered to international people living in a number of countries across the world.
Looking at data for 195 countries, the study examined each nation’s happiness ranking, as well as the average salary, cost of living, quality of healthcare, average income to property price ratio, and the country’s global peace level.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the study found that, while Switzerland offered the best overall quality of life, making it the best country to live and work in for 2021, while Australia was (perhaps unsurprisingly) the most popular country for Brits who decided to move abroad.
