Scandinavian nations scored highly in the "Social Progress Report," but more surprising are the very large countries which came lower down the list - suggesting that a strong GDP per capita is not the only gauge for a high standard of living.
Despite this, all of the top 19 countries are developed nations - so having a strong economy clear has an impact.
The "Social Progress Report" collates the scores of three main indexes:
- Basic Human Needs, which includes medical care, sanitation, and shelter.
- Foundations of Wellbeing, which covers education, access to technology, and life expectancy.
- Opportunity, which looks at personal rights, freedom of choice, and general tolerance.
The index then adds the three different factors together, before giving each nation a score out of 100. You can see the countries with the highest quality of life below.
