At what place is Poland in terms of life. Where is best living? Rating countries in terms of living

To determine the living standards of people, several techniques were invented, but mostly use the one that acts in the UN. On behalf of this organization, every year of statistics holds this analytical work, after which the result of their activities is published in the form of a rating in the report "On the Development of Humanity".
The term "quality of life" can be interpreted in different ways, but most often it is assessed by the quality of life index. When calculating it, the following indicators are taken into account:

• purchasing power index;
• contamination index;
• index of the ratio of the incomes of the population and the cost of real estate;
• lifetime value index;
• security index;
• health index;
• climate index;
• the time index spent in traffic jams.

1. Norway (0.949)

This country has been heading this rating for five recent years. It is good in that the housing is cheaper here than in Europe as a whole, in the country a good ecology and high-quality medicine, a developed system of social garanty, including the unemployment allowance for which only taxpayers can expect. In Norway, beautiful nature, high salaries and the same high taxes. In terms of living, Norway is now leading in the world, although this does not mean that everything is worked out here, rich and in vain use social benefits. In fact, the rating is more beautiful than real Norwegian life, because it is raised by other indicators - the level of development of democracy, the rule of law, the number of citizens with higher education.

2. Australia (0.939)

In Australia, a comfortable warm climate, but emigrants also attracts a high level of employment (only 5% unemployed), great opportunities for outdoor activities. And living here only 4 years old, a foreigner can already receive an Australian passport. In 2016, the hour of paying work in Australia cost more than just in the world - $ 17. But the Australian Sun bake is unlikely, so it is necessary to hide from it here and use the cream to not earn skin cancer.

Many women prefer shopping-tourism as the best wayTo relax, have fun, enjoy shopping. What could be pleasant ...

3. Switzerland (0.939)

This alpine country almost always came into the top five, it is not surprising for the most important financial center in the world. But all the benefits here are intended only for Switzerland citizens. As for migrants, with employment on good work They will meet with discrimination, and live here is very expensive - square meter Housing There is an astronomical 50,000-100,000 euros here, and for his rent will have to pay 2,500 euros. But live here very calmly. Very rich people come here to rest to enjoy a slow, safe life.

4. Germany (0.926)

Germany was a locomotive of the European Union from the very moment of its creation. It is located on the leading positions in exports, delivering high-quality cars, industrial equipment, spare parts, household appliances. German natural resources are very stingy, only in the Ruhr pool mining coal. The absence of raw materials forced Germany to earn money.

5. Denmark (0.925)

This Scandinavian country has a stable economy, very high prices and cult healthy image Life. However, salaries here are rather big - even low-skilled frames per month here can count on 3,500 euros. But not all migrants can adapt to local realities and adapt to the Danish lifestyle. To do this, start with the study of the Danish language, which is not easy for the Slavs. Local mentality is alien to consecutions from former USSR, especially full gender equality. Fathers here are not less than mothers take maternity leave. Since Denmark is mononational, the Danes are wary of migrants who are not easy to find friends among them.

6. Singapore (0.925)

The basis of the prosperity of this city-state is a stable moderate political system that has not changed from its very foundation. The government of the country from year to year, from a decade in a decade only one important goal is to provide Singapore survival, and even better prosperity. Over the decades of Singapore history, the authorities managed to attract more than 9,000 large foreign companies to the territory of Singapore, and with their help to build dozens of modern factories, in particular those producing the most modern components for electronics. The Government of Singapore does not know what kind of corruption, local officials will never be pushing the interest of some large company. The same orders are also valid in the local economic environment.
World ratings put Singapore on the 13th place in terms of the most expensive cities planet. It is clear that local salaries correspond to them. The "green" young specialist, who has just graduated from the university, is already getting a minimum of $ 3,500 per month. It is noteworthy that last years Singapore has become an important direction of the so-called "medical tourism". This is due to the fact that local medicine services are much cheaper than in an old or new world, although in quality they are not inferior to them, but sometimes they are superior.

7. Netherlands (0.924)

The Netherlands differ in the quality of life from neighboring Denmark, which is already talking about many things. There are, of course, those whom in Holland are inserted, above all, mushrooms, marijuana and other "light" drugs, but most of all such people belong to the category of looking for relaxation and sensations of freedom. The same Dutch young people seek to play sports, especially football and skates, people rolling around in hockey on the grass. The Dutch is very friendly - buying something in the local market, a person will not hear "thanks" and "please". True, and answer in the same vein so as not to give ignorance. Unfortunately, many of our compatriots such elementary things are given with great difficulty.

8. Ireland (0.923)

On this "emerald" island is a rather high standard of living, while it demonstrates stability in different parts of the country - that in the cities that in the villages the quality of life is about the same, perhaps, only the choice in the cities of more. Irish created the system social support People who fell into a difficult position, it applies to legal migrants. The country also has a good level of education, which is not limited to alone by learning, but covers and upbringing. At a high level, local medicine is also located, although its structure is unusceptible for the Russian. Instead of our usual municipal clinic, there are offices of general practitioners. As for hospitals, they are equipped with excellent equipment.

9. Iceland (0.921)

For 2017, approximately 80% of the Icelandic population was officially employed, which is a good indicator. The average annual income of the family after taxes reached $ 24,000 - this is not so much, but the Icelanders themselves consider this value quite sufficient. At the level of employment and income indirectly affects education, here this island is somewhat inferior to the best world indicators - the certificate of secondary education is only 70% of Icelanders. But thanks to good ecology and healthcare, Icelanders live to 80 years of age. On average, Icelanders earn a month of $ 3,300, while 20% get more of this value and the same amount is less. In general, Iceland has equal opportunities for people of different floors, education and age.

10. Canada (0,920)

Over 65% of Canada residents have their own housing, and about 70% have the most important consumer goods (machine, TV, washing machine, refrigerator, radio and telephone). IN economic Plan Canada is one of the most powerful states, so the economic leaders are adopted in the "greater seven". In the country, not only the developed industry and the transport system connecting all the country's economic centers, but also a lot natural resources. To this you need to add an abundance of highly qualified personnel and an excellent education system. With its social standards, Canada can be proud of: medicine here is very effective and almost free, and the education system is one of the best on the planet. The Canadian society is among the leaders in the world and life safety.

Rating of living standards and index human Development Show in which countries it is best to live and relax. Every year it is compiled by such publications like The Economists, Numbeo, US News & World Report and is subjective. However, trust in research is high, as specialists rely on data that are published in international organizations.

On September 14, 2018, the UN published a report in which the human development index is specified for today. It is an annual rating that is published annually, it allows you to make an idea where to live is most comfortable. Also, these data speak about the standard of living of the population in a specific country. During the reporting of the report, the following indicators are used:

• average life expectancy;
• availability of education;
• GNP in relation to the parity of the purchasing power;
• GDP per capita.

Russia in this list takes 49 position With an indicator of 0.816, adding 0.001 points compared to 2017.

The maximum value is 1. According to official data, none of the existing states has a 100% indicator. But many are close to this value. Compared with the previous year, changes in the top 20 were insignificant.
It is important to understand that the UN is based on reports provided by countries, and does not conduct research on their own.

Quality Quality Index from The Economists

According to British publishing house, leading states are Switzerland (8.22 out of 10 points), Germany (8.18 out of 10 points) and Norway (8.09 out of 10 points).

When determining the index, experts are studying the following indicators in different countries World:

• life expectancy;
• the number of divorces per 1,000 marriages;
• availability of public organizations;
• indicator of material well-being;
• indicator of political stability and safety;
• climatic conditions;
• unemployment rate;
• guarantee of political freedoms;
• gender equality.

Based on this, the ranking of countries in terms of living on an annual basis is formed. It is worth noting that different editions of the assessment can diverge. Although the Economist Publishing House performed the last time in 2013, many rely on it during new studies.

Rating of the cities of Russia

The NUMBEO website conducts polls of their users and based on this data forms its rating of the best cities. We will see the data in Russia.

Experts performed a detailed analysis, which is based on the results of polls of thousands of site visitors who lived (or live) in these cities:

1. Nizhny Novgorod Scored 136.33 points. Almost all parameters were obtained high marks. However, the ratio of the cost of life to the level of income and purchasing power were estimated low.
2. St. Petersburg From 113.03 points took the second line. There is highly appreciated the cost of living and the ratio of wages, climatic conditions, safety and health care. The remaining estimates are below the average according to NUMBEO.
3. Kazan Highly appreciated by experts. However, the assessment was introduced by purchasing power due to the low size of the average wage (less than 25,000 rubles) and the high pollution rate.
4. Samara Received almost all average estimates from experts. Below is only traffic and shopping ability. Thus, this city ranks 4 lines in the list of cities in terms of living in Russia.
5. Moscow gives citizens a lot of opportunities. However, there are high pollution rates, traffic and real income ratio to prices not in favor of the capital. 70% of the inhabitants are satisfied with the quality of life in the capital, which indicates the attractiveness of the city for life.
6. Yekaterinburg Also well shown myself well. In the city, an excellent health care system and the cost of living is quite small. However, the environmental situation and purchasing power placed it in the lower part of the top 10.
7. Rostov-on-Don Loses in almost all parameters specified above the cities. But here the climatic conditions and the cost of life are highly appreciated.
8. Novosibirsk - The capital of Siberia. But here, as in Moscow, problems with ecology, traffic and purchasing power. The assessment was also understated due to the peculiarities of the geographical position.
9. Chelyabinsk Almost all parameters received average estimates. But the minimum scores on the environmental situation and buying ability lowered it to 9 lines. But here medical organizations work perfectly.
10. Omsk Almost everywhere has low estimates. Experts estimated the low cost of living, security and health care system. That is what allowed the city to close the top 10.

At the time of publication, the last data update took place in October 2018. For more information on other cities can be clarified on the official NUMBEO website.

Thus, in these regions, the standard of living is highest. When studying these materials, it is important to take into account what the research is based on. In-Russian analysis by region comes from the availability of housing, education, health care, the state of the ecology and the ratio of prices and wages.

The best cities of the world

The quality of life is consisted of the level of purchasing power of residents, the level of pollution, the cost of real estate (including rental), the cost of life, climatic conditions, the availability of health, crime and accessibility of public organizations. These are the basic parameters for comparison. Based on this, in the top 10 ranking of cities in terms of living, they entered:

1. Canberra (Australia);
2. Roles (USA, North Carolina);
3. Eindhoven (Netherlands);
4. Zurich (Switzerland);
5. Madison (USA, Wiscontin);
6. Wellington (New Zealand);
7. Adelaide (Australia);
8. Brisbane (Australia);
9. Ottawa (Canada);
10. San Diego (USA, California).

These cities attract not only tourists, but also migrants. There is a relatively low cost of life, there is an opportunity to remove or purchase accommodation, and there are no problems with medicine and education. Also in these settlements The infrastructure is well developed.

In the modern world, many citizens plan to move abroad for the purpose of long residence. To do this, it is necessary to own information that it is waiting for immigrants in a new place, how much accommodation costs and what is the overall level of income, where it is best to settle retirees. The rating of countries in the standard of living, compiled by the UN and leading analytical centers of the world, with which it will be possible to familiarize themselves in this material will help determine the choice.

Europe

Traditionally, among those selected by Russians, European states leading to the permanent residence of different countries. This is connected with close position, as well as a rather high rating of many countries in terms of the level of life of the population in 2017. According to one of the largest suppliers of databases, NUMBEO, in the first place on the scale of the world is Denmark, on the last - Egypt (56 place). Further go Finland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and completes the list of the most prosperous European countries in Switzerland. All of them come in the top ten, ahead of even the United States of America. Evaluation is made in several criteria:

• quality of life;
• purchasing power;
• security security;
• health level;
• cost of residence;
• ratio of income and value of real estate;
• time spent on traffic jams;
• the degree of environmental pollution.

Denmark

One of the most prosperous in Scandinavia and the EU, Denmark heads the top rating of the countries of the world in terms of living. But this does not mean that it refers to one of the most affordable services. General index Quality of residence of citizens is about 180, the indicator of the purchasing power of the population is approaching 100. Pollution in the Danish state average, this is estimated by an indicator of 24 units.

Finland

Reparatively cold and forest-rich Finland, adjacent to Russia and Sweden, is quite highly assessed from the point of view of stability and conditions of existence. Despite the fact that the Finns lost to the Danes, live in their northern country will not be worse, but even better: the level of purchasing power is more than 100, the contamination is lower than in the leader's state - about 12 units.

Germany

Drinking and law-abiding Germans always lived well-respect to their European neighbors. This is confirmed by a high indicator of the health index (76), as well as the ratio of income of the population to housing prices (7.8). A little cool enthusiasm from a general positive impression of the level of contamination of the atmosphere (27).

Austria

Conditions for emigration in close in spirit to Germany Austria can be considered quite favorable. The local Germans earned the safety indicator higher than in the leading level in the countries of the world, according to the 2017 rating of Denmark - 80 units, and pollution in their state is lower than in Germany, only 23.4.

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, the country of tulips and legalized light drugs, the overall level of living factor is approaching Austria and Germany, it is 177 units. The ratio between the cost of housing and income indicator below 7, the degree of pollution is quite high - about 27.

Switzerland

The state is world famous thanks to its cheeses, banks, folding knives and exceptional stability. The overall quality of life in Switzerland approaches New Zealand (172), but the cost of existence in it is unexpectedly high - 138. A really expensive country, it is not easy to live in it. Very high coefficient that determines the compliance of revenues of real estate prices - 10.4. This is more than in all previous states.

These were the best European countries in terms of life 2017, top participants in assessment. The rest of the applicants were distributed at various positions, from 10 (Slovenia) to 56 (Egypt).

Peace

By the first ten, the most secured countries in terms of living in the world ranking belong:

• New Zealand (7th place);
• Australia (8th place);
• USA (9th place).

He fell into the 10 best states and tiny Slovenia. The second dozen opens Spain, followed by Sweden, Portugal, Norway, and closes the list of 15 countries with not the lowest standard of living of Canada.

Australia and New Zealand

This is not the old light, but also good. The states located far from the noisy Europe and the American continent, the former British colonies, demonstrate equal indicators - about 172 units on the total scale of the averaged indicators of well-being. They have a lot of common: it is about the same levels of purchasing power of the population in relation to the cost of housing - 7 with a small one. The security index is close to 60, which is also not bad.

America

One of the most secured, in fact, superpower, affecting the policy of world states and communities. Many dream of living in the USA, but not everyone knows about dry analytics in numbers, and it is as follows: the overall quality of accommodation - 167, security - 51, time spent in traffic jams - 34.8 (for Denmark - 28.6), degree Pollution - 31.

Important. For the United States, a surprisingly low rate of purchasing power in relation to housing is 3.1. Not in vain states in absentia are considered a country of equal opportunities for those who want to live there and actively earn, develop their business.

Slovenia

Shard of the once fateful southern Slavic state, Slovenia, is trying to find his way to prosperity in this volatile world. The success of the chosen policy says 10th place in the world ranking, as well as the total quality indicator of life - 166. The purchasing power of its citizens is estimated below than in Denmark or the Netherlands, but above some other European states, in 68 units. It is quite high parameter level of income / housing prices, it is 8. Environmental pollution average, approximately as in Germany - 26.

Spain

It remains a mystery why the Basque Country gave up not only with its neighbors in Europe, but also remote Australia with New Zealand. The data of the British Agency do not doubt, according to them in Spain, there are problems with ecology (contamination index 38), its inhabitants suffer from a long stay in traffic jams (32 units), on this disadvantage of living in one of the Pyrenees States end.

Benefits include a good overall security parameter (70, higher than in the USA), a relatively low rate of high-cost life - 60. It remains to add to these data to the mild climate to convince the people who doubt the need to relocate in Spain.

Sweden

The birthplace of the Quartet "Abba", Ericsson phones and once warlike kings, the present Sweden is a major developed state located on the Scandinavian Peninsula. The country has a relatively stable index of the purchasing power of the population - 94, safety is slightly lower than in the North American states (50) and the medium pollution index as a result of human livelihoods at the level with green and pure New Zealand (19). But the cost of living is high - 83, it is also impossible to be called affordable real estate prices in the kingdom (11.5 units).

Portugal

The very last republic located in the west of Europe. Attracts travelers with a soft subtropical climate, bright vegetation, the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. From an independent estimation point of view, not everything is so smooth: purchasing power at the level of 55 units (below tiny Slovenia), with an acceptable rate of accommodation (54), the ratio of housing prices for income is 9 units. Highly losses for waiting in traffic jams (31) and contamination (29).

Norway

Another state from the Scandinavian Union formed on the set of islands. Demonstrates a stable economy, as evidenced by good purchasing power (92 at 98 in Denmark), a clean atmosphere (19 units) and acceptable security of accommodation (55, in the US for comparison 51).

But life itself in this country can not be called accessible: the cost index of 112.8, the ability to purchase housing is estimated at 8 units (more expensive than Spain, but cheaper than Sweden). At the same time, Norway leads in an alternative list with a high standard of living of the population in the countries of the 2017 World Country, gaining a high score on the human development index. This indicator consists of literacy, education and life expectancy, determining the degree of comfort for citizens.

Canada

The state located on the North American continent according to the estimation is inferior to some of the old lights on generalized habitat quality indicators, but still enters the first 20 best. Canada ranks 15th in the ranking of countries in terms of life for 2017, gaining only 158 points. Dirty atmosphere statisticians (27 points), the level of delays in traffic jams above average (36), but the index of the purchasing power is close to such a leader - Denmark (98).

Safety is defined as the same as in the distant New Zealand (60), the total cost of life is almost like in the neighboring US (72 against 77). But for some reason, the possibility of Canadian citizens to buy real estate is estimated 2 times lower than that of the neighbors-Americans.

Countries of the Middle East

The Arab states are considered not the worst choice in the table of countries in the country's security level for 2017. The most famous:

• Saudi Arabia;
• Egypt.

For some reason, during the estimation, they found themselves in absolutely different points of the list. The UAE and SA demonstrate equal indicators, included in the first 30 countries, being in neighboring positions. These applicants for life price (70 in Emirates and 50 in Satites) are seriously distinguished, as well as the financial consistency of residents regarding the acquisition of real estate, 5.2 and 2.8, respectively.

The last indicator is very tempting looks from the point of view of those who plan to settle in the country for a long time, starting with the purchase of housing. Somewhat alarms environmental pollution statistics: 56 for the combined emirates and 73 for Saudi Arabia. About Egypt can be said that he got to the most latter, 56 place.

CIS

Curious estimates obtained by different countries included in the post-Soviet space, CIS: from 30 places in Lithuania to 53 from Ukraine. The rest of the Baltic States, Asian Republics and Belarus are not included in general. In the middle of Russia (50th place), for some reason, ahead of China. For the PRC, a very high level of pollution was marked - 86 (Egypt - 89) and an indirect price index for housing - 43.

Another accompliser company, MoveHub, determines the rating of countries by the level of high costs as of 2017. This is indirectly confirmed by the level of sufficiency of citizens and the stability of their income. Places in the list were distributed as follows:

1. Switzerland.
2. Norway.
3. Venezuela.
4. Iceland.
5. Denmark.
6. Australia.
7. New Zealand.
8. Singapore.
9. Kuwait.
10. Great Britain.
11. Ireland.
12. Luxembourg.
13. Finland.
14. France.
15. Belgium.

The rating parameters include the cost of power, transport costs, utility bills, etc. As can be seen, the statistics on the CIS is absent at all.

Accordingly, another list consisting of the cheapest countries to accommodate: India, Nepal, Pakistan, Tunisia, Algeria, Moldova, Egypt, Macedonia, Syria, Colombia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Georgia, Morocco, Philippines.

Life expectancy

This indicator may be associated with genetics, general indicator The health of the nation, as well as the degree of pollution of the environment. It practically does not affect it medium salaryBut it depends on other different factors (cost and availability of medical care).

The longest, according to the UN and specially conducted research of independent centers, people live in Hong Kong (84 years). Japan follows Japan (83.5), Italy (83.1), Singapore and Switzerland (for 83 years).

Important. Evaluation from the standpoint of the average life expectancy is alternative, therefore it is impossible to directly identify it with the well-being, the population and the purchasing power of the population.

In absolutely different, located in various parts of the world, states (Iceland, Australia, Israel, France, Sweden, Canada), approximately equal life expectancy - about 82 years. In the first 30 countries, the list of which is closed by Cyprus, the gap in the maximum life is minimal, within 1-2 years.

The situation in the root changes for Latin America and the states of Eastern Europe: Panama - 77.6, Poland - 77.4, Uruguay - 77.2. At relatively prosperous citizens of the UAE, the average life expectancy is 77 years old, 7 years lower than in Hong Kong, who heads the top list. Not very large, but a rather high indicator of long-livers in Georgia (almost 75 years old), it coincides with that in Nicaragua, Sri Lanka and Serbia.

For Russia, the threshold of mortality from old age is 70 years old, it is less than in Ukraine. Close the list of African republics - Sierra Leone, Chad and Swaziland - about 50 years.

Rating for pensioners

For the elderly, the "comfort zone" is especially important, the opportunity to calmly be retired or minimal salary, not rolling to poverty. Various organizations, including the UN and non-governmental companies of the European Union, conduct research, determining the most suitable for the residence of the country's pensioners.

The tops of the country's residue, the remainder of the country head heads Bulgaria and closes Turkey, and Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, China and Egypt also got there. It will be important and the possibility of transfer benefits to a local bank without any problems, which is easily carried out in Bulgaria, as well as a simplified process of legalization of new citizens.

Summary Table

To summarize literally all the indicators, to bring the most accurate rating of the most favorable countries is not possible, since different people when moving the abroad pursue various purposes. According to one of the ratings compiled for the 15 "most-most" states of Europe and the world, the championship occupies Norway, and the list of Austria is closed:

Dear-free statistics require some comments. Someone is looking for a country with a developed economic system, democratic freedoms, and someone just want to change the place of residence. High estimates of Denmark, Sweden and Norway are known to the high ratings of Denification, Sweden and Norway, the same applies to the value of real estate.

And not very popular in Europe. The same applies to Australia and New Zealand: differing low population density and not being particularly "prestigious", in comparison with other states, they, thanks to a pure atmosphere and a steady level of living, are popular with the inhaled natives of the CIS.

Which of the European countries is better than others suitable for secured, decent and peaceful life? Studies show that the population of the region unevenly estimates the social, economic and political situation in his homeland. Indicators for one or another state may vary greatly. And allow citizens, including Russians, in place to assess the level and quality of life in Western countries and, perhaps, move there on permanent residence.

So the Schengen visa looks like in France

Life in Europe in 2019 many seems to be perfect. The most attractive western and northern part of it. Emigrants, including Russians, tend to go there for a number of reasons:

• opportunity for career growth,
• confidence in the best quality of education and medicine,
• low mortality rate with high life expectancy,
• stable political system.

However, these and other indicators of unequal in all countries of this part of the world. also recently became more difficult

As the recent survey showed, the population of Europe in different ways assesses the quality of his life. Its level was measured by several indicators. Among them: welfare, employment, health, education, economic and physical safety, environmental situation and personal relationships. Citizens of Denmark, Sweden and the highest scores for these criteria. The least satisfied with life in Europe Bulgarians.

Political map of Europe

In general, the inhabitants of the northern and western parts are satisfied with the conditions for living in their country more than their southern and eastern neighbors. At the same time, the population of Europe does not prone to or Asia, preferring to change.

Scandinavian countries always stand out for their average high standard of living. ordinary people.

Denmark

One of the richest states in the world. Accommodation there is considered one of the most expensive both everyday and long-term needs. This is partly compensated for solid salary. The Scandinavian kingdom is the only country in the EU in which labor relations are not regulated by law, but collective agreements. They are concluded by trade unions and unions of employers. In Denmark, high social standards.

Thanks to the quality of health, the average life expectancy is 80 years. At the same time, the state is the smallest gap in the world in assessing health among wealthy and low-income citizens.

Danish ancient castle of Egues

In the kingdom, it is enough just to open your business and purchase a residence permit. Most easy way Emigrations (in particular, for Russians) - marriage with citizens of this Scandinavian country or owners of the status of permanent residence, as well as reunification with close relatives.

Western Europe

France

High salary, stable economy, active social position of workers, developed system of trade unions, uniform distribution of benefits between oligarchs and lower class, low level of corruption, stormy political life. These are the main. At the same time, unrest related to immigrants often occur in the country.

Also in recent years, xenophobic and anti-Semitic sentiments have increased. In general, the Western state is distinguished by a relatively high degree of street and consumer crime. This is especially true of large cities, including the capital of the Republic of Paris.

The standard of living and the development of infrastructure in the province is comparable to the largest megalopolis. And not only France, but also many other countries. In small towns, the cost of renting housing is significantly lower than in large ones.

Thanks to financial influsions, even small towns and villages of Poland are comfortable, and the roads are one of the best in the world in quality. The country's political life is distinguished by the transparency of power and liberalization. However, in some areas, for example, a medical bureaucracy prevails.

Buy an apartment in the state in 2019 is impossible without. Education and health care is considered one of the best in the region, but in general, Europe does not occupy leading positions. The average life expectancy in Poland is 73.9 years for men and 79.4 years for women.

Arrange a residence permit or in several ways:

Calm political situation, the ability to conduct business and purchase apartments at affordable prices. All this adds the Czech Republic points in the eyes of those who are going to go there for permanent residence. Russians among non-made residents of the state also a lot.

For example, on the quality of health and primary education, the state takes 60 place among the countries of the world, and on the efficiency of the labor market - 81. With regard to the average life expectancy, it is 75 years.

Where else to go

• Recently, we returned from the next one of your trip, and then I met someone's post about the fact that you need to urgently leave for a "normal" country. That here a person is unoccupied, do not budge (good wine and brandy), do not dope, do not permlude and do not pay extra. And there everything will be civilized.

  I do not understand which "normal" country all these abnormal people gathered, which are unoccupied?

  Of course, travel is very good. Especially good travel, leaving for 2-3 weeks. It is even better if you leave for a month or two, and it is very good to leave somewhere to live and learn.

  And not because you are so in fashionable clothes, with beautiful pictures in instagram and unknown jars in a cosmetic bag, and because it gives you the chances to develop your globility.

  But it is worth knowing the following.

  1. If you live in Germany, you collect coupons for all week best deals from supermarkets. Even if you are a "well-secured family." Because the security of your family is compliance with the budget, and the budget \u003d your coupons.

  No, you do not spend in the "alphabet of taste" more than my mother or to postpone money for the future, being confident that stocks for Nishchebrudes and old cats. You carefully analyze offers and collect coupons.

  2. If you live in Germany and are going on vacation, you choose a middle hotel in which everything is included. Breakfast lunch and dinner. This is if you are with your family. If without a family, then you choose hostels. No, you do not write out restaurants with Mishlen's stars gadget and do not consider Booking hotels about five stars with estimates from 8.9. Do not spend on food more than the hotel. You choose something for sane money with sane quality.

  3. If you live in Germany, you do not take baths and hot shower "Long in Life." Just because it is expensive. No, "expensive" is not what you are accustomed to in Moscow. Expensive \u003d impossible.

  4. If you live in Germany, you pay taxes. Very large taxes. No, you do not pay them as in Moscow - when the employer paid on the fact wages, And you "don't have anything else". And therefore, you can "here are freelancing," and "Money to receive for freelance to" Yandex-money "or a card with a note" gift ".

  You pay from all your income. And if you do not pay, then you have every chance of the next few years to engage in "Freelance" to the state in prison. True, it will not be that creative work.

  5. If you live in Germany, then after 10 pm, you behave quietly. Yes, and on birthday and yes, in repair. Just because if you do not behave so as not to bother your neighbors, you move. To the police. And you are pointing right too. No, not in the entrance, not on the sidewalk, because in your head "some reptiles did not take care" about your parking lot, not on the flower lady (do not-love you, to park on whose flowerbed), but right - along marks and marks.

  If you decide that you will be parked in the door to the neighbors, then you move again. No, you do not get a fine that you will never pay. You will move with your car to the police, where with due regularity you start to engage in "freelance" to the state.

  6. If you live in France and suddenly in the winter in the room I decided that you were cold? You are sure - the apartment should be warm, so you will talk about it with a homeowner. You will hear: "Of course it's cold, winter, if you did not notice, dull". And so it will be not only in France. Because heat is expensive, and expensive \u003d cannot be.

  And if you do everything that is expensive, you will never have a secured old age. Yes, yes, the one that we love poke in your country. That is the most secured old age, which is ensured in the youth coupons for discounts and heating bills.

  7. If you live in France, Germany and Italy, you only buy seasonal products and only your region. Because it is logical. Because it makes no sense to demand ripe tomatoes in January. Because tomatoes in January do not grow in your region, and those that are not from yours are expensive. No, no one will understand your eating suffering - because they have no logic.

  In South Tyrol in Italy, in Austria, in Germany, the main dishes will be from potatoes and meat, because they have very good with potatoes and meat. You will find one kind of brie and two views of Parmesan in the supermarket. Each region (no, not a country, namely, the region) eats its meat, his cheese, its vegetables. And drinks its wine. What grows and is done right here. If not growing and not done - does not eat and does not drink. No one in mind will come to hysterically from the fact that in Liguria there is no wine from Venetto. Just because it has no logic.

  Moreover, there is such a very aggressive phenomenon like cheese patriotism, wine patriotism and other gastronationalism. Rather, they fall into hysterics if the opposite is the opposite.

  8. If you live in France in your bathroom, calmly together with you will live a black mold. Of course, you know that the black mold is striking the lungs, but to remove the mold is too expensive, and all that is expensive, stupid waste of money. And whether it will have to remove the mold from your lungs - it still pisels on the water. So live yourself calmly.

  9. In any city of Europe, you will pay for parking. No, not as in Moscow, bought a car wheelbarrow and sticking a couple of numbers with a leaf-snow. You will pay a lot. And parking will look for hours. And in the USA, too. Because if you can't pay for parking, there is nothing to buy a car - it is not logical.

  And yes, buy expensive cars, especially if you are in France, it is absolutely not logical. And those who eat a lot of gasoline is also not logical. In the car, the main thing is that she could ride and carry.

  10. In most cities in the world, everything works on the clock. In Europe from 9 to 12 and from 15 to 19. You can dine only from 12 to 14, and dine from 19. And yes, you can talk about the whole day "I wake up at 12 and in this stupid city there is no place to have breakfast," but No one will understand. Because there is a way, there are trade unions and there is a logic that does not fit in any way with your whims and rugs. Contain this as you are too expensive and not normal.

  11. About travel. More than 80 percent of Americans never went beyond their state. Traveling times in life to France is considered an event. Most Italians, French never travel. Swiss families prefer to spend the winter holidays in Austria, German - in Italy. Because everything else is expensive. So expensive, which is not lifted at all.

  There are still a lot of things, from the fact that people in "civilized" countries consider the norm on what their normal life is based. Most often it is all connected with the clear awareness of its actions, money value, planning, law-abiding, attachment to their country, land, kitchen.

  Immediately I see people who were taken on expensive oil and on every corner of this oil cursing. More precisely. Restricted that with such oil, they could give more.

  Arguing about some unknown "middle class", which in their picture of the world rises in a sable, eats oysters. Well, or at least 4 months per year and travels on multimillion mills with recent generation gadgets, in jeans for 300 euros.

  At the same time, the "middle class" in normal countries lives as I listed above.

  I still have something interesting, which happens when these "cool" people, with their life expectations, are still moving to Europe, where for many 1000 euros of income clean, after taxes - is it a lot? There are those who finally transfers from the extension on social networks and move! But not so to make money in the "damned Moscow", on its "damned oil money" and its "abnormal Russians" and live in the EU, and in real?

  Support their "normal people" in how they need to pay, for what, how to feed-poke?

• During this post, I thought. Many Soviet Union is felt. But how they lived ... I don't know the truth or not, but there are 100% logic here!
  Well, firstly, the attitude itself! Country is our wealth! Water, electricity, gasoline is everything worth the money. But how was the Russian man, and the European (?)
  Then, respectful attitude towards the neighbor. Russian stupidly do not care where to put the car, playground or more ...
  Well, most importantly, if I do, as it should, I will give a good pension, Medezin and Other (Europe) ... Everyone knew perfectly well that working for the Union, at the factory, you will be given an apartment, a ticket and so on ... I love my country very much , I am proud of her! She is great! But only a strong leader can be controlled by such a country, no subordination and House. Only the leader should hurt the country, and not put money into his pocket ... all the best!

Everything is a comparison - probably, this thought was adopted by the compilers of the first ratings. And they began to make them in the United States in the middle of the XIX century. As historians assure, businessman Lewis Tappan, raised after economic crisis, I decided to create agency to identify reliability of companies and banks. On the basis of financial documents, staff surveys, representatives and even local residents, specialists made the conclusion about the solvability of a company. The rating was sold to interested parties. The idea was picked up other agencies. And the eyelids appeared world ratings. At first they were only economic, later sociological. Now countries are assessed by the most different indicators. For example, according to the index of happiness or the development of human potential.

What is the role of ratings of countries in modern times and that they reflect

"They say that numbers rule the world. No, they only show how they rule the world, "the statement of Johann Wolfgang Goethe may well become the motto of a solid rating agency. His specialists compare the digital series, reflecting different indicators, as a result, to find out which country is the leader, and which is an outsider of the global economy and politics.

Global ratings help compare life in different countries

Rating is an assessment (from the English word RATE - evaluate), which shows the place of the country (or another object) according to any criterion. When it comes to the territory, the number of people, most economic indicatorsThe basis of the assessment is accurate numbers. If the rating affects sociological aspects, for example, happiness or well-being of people, special formulas apply to the calculation, including several criteria.

Economic ratings of countries help to appreciate how profitable cooperation with foreign partners will be, is it worth making investments, which business will be better developed. Social oriental ratings are most often answered by one question formulated in different ways: in which country it lives better.

Religations that make up on the basis of several indicators, for example, the happiness index, often be subject to

However, not all methods of compiling world ratings give reliable information. It turned out that data can be manipulated in the interests of some companies and even countries, and estimates do not have time to change in the economy. According to experts, errors in connection with the last crisis in the economy became particularly frequent. For example, rating agencies could not predict the fall in the real estate market in the United States and the bankruptcy of some international corporations.

Depending on where information was obtained from, conditionally ratings can be divided into three groups:

• on the basis of data from the official bodies (in Russia - Rosstat, Rospotrebnadzor, Labor Inspection, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Internal Affairs and others);
• information from informal sources;
• targeted polls of citizens.

Ratings drawn up by the United Nations Office, WHO and other international organizations show which problems exist in a particular country

The most respected international rating agencies - Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S & P) and Fitch. In Russia, among the first, the "Expert" weekly began to master this type of activity, there have created a special service. Later, the "National Rating Agency", RosbusinessConsulting, AK & M, Rus-Rating joined it. However, so far Russian ratings have won confidence at the international level.

The world-famous American writer Mark Twain said: "There are three kinds of lies: a lie, baking lies and statistics." Rating is also a product of statistics. Therefore, when familiarizing with estimates, it is important to know, based on what information they were taken and what factors were taken into account. However, not always the agencies reveal their sources and honestly talk about the methods of calculation. And it allows you to doubt the accuracy of the rating. In addition, recently to the position of the country in the list is influenced by the policy. Sometimes amazing results are obtained, even if desired, it is difficult to believe. In some cases, an objective assessment is impossible, because there is no complete information pattern. So to ratings, especially complex, multicomponent, we must relate to the fraction of skepticism.

Current ratings of countries

Global ratings are often drawn up on the initiative of international organizations. From the company or agency that perform the order depends on where there is one or another country. In one-component ratings, the discrepancies are rare. Although there are there. For example, in the international ranking of the territory of the territory of the territory, the accession of the Crimea to Russia is not taken into account. Especially many inconsisions in ratings based on several criteria. Unified assessment methodology does not exist. The most vivid examples are determining the standard of living or the index of happiness.

Recently, ratings that evaluate non-economic, and social and even emotional indicators have become popular

In terms of life

This rating is based on a number of economic and social indicators. The main of them is the development of the economy, education, health care, citizens' incomes and prices for goods and services, safety, freedoms. Often compilers consider synonyms such as standard of living, well-being and prosperity. The high position in the ranking does not mean that the country is equally well living well without exception. And Low - does not always show that the country is unsuitable for life.

New Zealand is recognized as the most prosperous country of 2017, according to the Rating of the LEGATUM PROSPERITY INDEX Agency

LEGATUM PROSPERITY INDEX agency has compiled a rating of welfare of countries in 2016-2017. The prosperity index is calculated by 9 criteria:

• state of the economy;
• conditions for business;
• public administration;
• quality and availability of education;
• development of medicine;
• criminal atmosphere;
• freedom of personality;
• social potential;
• ecological situation.

In the ranking of Legatum Prosperity Index 149 countries. Twenty leaders in terms of living level does not change significantly for several years. They only pass with a position to the position. In the last rating, New Zealand received the highest prosperity index. Improved its rating by 5 points of the UK. The United States and Denmark lost 6 lines. And Finland has strengthened its position as much.

The prosperity index is not only an economy and public administration, but also freedom of personality.

The Top 20 prosperous countries includes New Zealand, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, Luxembourg, Ireland, Iceland, Austria, Belgium, USA, France, Singapore, Slovenia. To the best twenty, Spain and Japan almost blocked.

Most countries of the former social value are in the middle of the list and closer to the end. Russia and Ukraine, compared with the previous year, dropped by 37 points, they occupy 95 and 107 rating positions.

Russia in the LEGATUM PROSPERITY INDEX Agency ranking is lower than Cambodia and Honduras

Outsiders Prosperity Scale - Asian and African countries with an unstable political and economic situation: Pakistan, Burundi, Angola, Mauritania, Iraq, Chad, Congo, Sudan, Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Yemen.

The implementation of a person or its potential is one of the criteria in assessing the level of prosperity of the country

Henley & Partners offers to evaluate the countries in the quality index of the state or citizenship (QNI). It is excreted from the internal (stability and development of the economy, social security, education, business conditions, the presence of military conflicts) and external indicators (attitude to migrants, visa-free entry for citizens to other countries). In the last rating, 159 countries received an estimate. The best state of 2017, according to Henley & Partners, - Germany. France, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain also received the highest scores. The United States does not even enter into a twenty of advanced citizenship, and occupy the 28th line. Russia is located on the 63rd position, descending by 3 points, compared with the previous rating.

The list of the same countries is closed that they have become outsiders in the prosperity rating from the LEGATUM PROSPERITY INDEX agency, plus the Syrian Republic and Ethiopia.

In terms of GDP

The level of gross domestic product (GDP) or GROSS Domestic Product (GDP) is a more "solid" indicator, if compared with the prosperity index.

GDP is an essential economic criterion, it is equal to the ultimate value of everything that is produced in the country during the year. The authoritative data source on the level of GDP is the World Development Indicators Bank, which receives information from national statistical authorities. GDP indicator is customary to count in american dollars by official courses currencies.

GDP level is one of the main indicators in the global economy.

The leader of 2017 in the level of GDP was the USA, their indicator - $ 19,284.99 billion. In second place, China (12,63.43 billion), on the third - Japan (4,513.75 billion). Germany, United Kingdom, France, India, Italy, Brazil, Canada entered the top ten. Russia with a significant increase in 134 billion rose to the 12th place, overtaking Australia.

GDP per capita

The GDP level is compared without taking into account the number of population. But there is a ranking of countries in which both indicators take into account. Dividing the received GDP on all residents of the country, calculate the well-being of citizens. This means that the state can more invest in social programs, Improvement, ecology. However, it should not be thought that the standard of living of a particular person depends on the size of the gross product.

Luxembourg - the most wealthy country of the world

In 2017, the palm of the championship in the level of GDP per capita holds Luxembourg. This tiny country earned 108 thousand dollars per resident. Not much behind the leader Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Macau. In a dozen richest states - Qatar, USA, Ireland, Denmark, Australia.

Russia takes on this indicator only 67th place, passing the Grenada, Romania, Turkey and Lebanon forward.

In the laggards predominantly African states.

Outsiders Roting GDP per capita - countries of Africa

Inflation

Inflation rating is compiled annually according to the International Monetary Fund and national statistical services. The top lines in it are occupied by countries where prices have grown most. In 2017, the leader of the inflation race is Venezuela. There is an unrestrained and fantastic increase in prices, they added more than 2,000 percent over the year.

In Venezuela, inflation has so devalued money that they began to weigh them

The first five also Yemen, Argentina, Angola, Nigeria. But in these countries, inflation holds at 12-20%. Slightly behind them the Republic of Belarus, its indicator is 11%.

Russia in 2017 managed to temper the price policy. According to official information, inflation was only 6%. And in the world ranking of the country in 39th place.

Close a list of prosperous and economically stable states - Spain and Switzerland. Zero inflation was shown Brunei and Ecuador, and life in Senegal, if you believe this data, even cheaper.

Unemployment rate

The international organization of labor gives the definition of the concept of "unemployed". They are considered a person who does not work at the moment, but maybe I would like to work. The level of this indicator is calculated as a percentage by the ratio of quantity. able-bodied population And those who are looking for work. Head the list of countries with the highest number of unemployed. For example, in the Republic of South Africa, the 2017 rating leader, 28 people from 100 cannot find a job. In Venezuela, they want, but 26 people from every hundreds can not be employed.

High unemployment is observed even in relatively prosperous countries

Russia with an indicator 5.5 occupies a position in the mid-ranking. The same level of unemployment in Panama, Dominican Republic and Fiji. And in the blessing Spain, every tenth able-bodied person can not find a job.

Minimum unemployment rate in Thailand and Belarus

By area of \u200b\u200bterritory

Rating that reflects the area of \u200b\u200bcountries, recent years has almost undergone changes. There was a lot of change in the late century. After the sovereignty parade, the collapse of the socialist republics political map. The world has become different. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union did not affect the championship of the Russian Federation in the ranking of the territory of the territory. Previously, it was 1 / 6th of the sushi, now a quarter. But Russia remains the most big country Earth, significantly surpasses the closest neighbors by rating - China, USA, Canada and Brazil. At the opposite end of the list - Monaco.

By the number of people

Another rating, distinguished by constancy, compares countries by the number of population. According to this indicator, no one can overtake China and India. Despite the restraining demographic policy, in these countries, several million people are added to a billion every year. By the way, the third multi-depleted power is the United States. But only 325 million live there. Russia is only ninth in this ranking, and on 10th place - Mexico.

The most populous country is China

Complete a list of tiny, small, but famous countries - Monaco, Liechtenstein and San Marino - with their 30-40-thousand people. And at the very end of exotic and few people who are familiar to Palau, Nauru, Tuvalu, where 10-20 thousand people live.

By population density

The population density is displayed on the basis of two indicators. This is the number of residents of the country, divided into the state area. After performing a simple arithmetic action, you can find out how many people live on one square kilometer. Of course, this figure will be conditional. In different regions of the same country, the population density is different several times. For example, compare the European part of Russia and the Far East.

The smaller the territory of the country, the more people account for 1 square kilometer

The most populous countries of the world are Macau and Monaco, 20 thousand people live on every square kilometer. And in Mongolia, which is located on the bottom line of the rating, a kilometer shall share 2 persons. Russia can be attributed to incomplete countries, its figure is 9 people per 100 hectares.

Countries where you like to drink

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced a report on the consumption of alcohol in 2017. A special accent was made on a dozen countries whose population drinks the maximum amount of alcohol for the year. The leader of this group was changed. A year earlier, the list began Belarus, and now Lithuania whose residents drink 16 liters of alcohol for the year. And perhaps the entire population is over 15 years old. Belarus, where they consume 15 liters of alcohol, moved to second place. The third became Latvia, the inhabitants of which grabs 13 liters of alcohol per year.

In 2016, Russia ranked 4 amende in the ranking of the most drinkers of the world

the Russian Federation, contrary to our existing opinion, is not the most "consumed" country. She and Poland were only in the fourth place. Russians slightly reduced the "drinking" rating, and the Poles rose. And those and others drink on average 12 liters of alcohol during the year.

United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Australia entered the top ten alcohol lovers. In this club and South Korea, she became the most drinking Asian country.

Residents of South Korea do not refuse themselves in alcohol

And the least popular spirits in countries where the population professes Islam. The biggest sinkers are residents of Pakistan and Kuwait. They drink about 100 ml of alcohol for a year, it is about a bottle of fastening wine.

In terms of corruption

Assess the level of corruption in different countries is not easy. Official data on this indicator are absent. Therefore, analysts build a rating based on the opinions of businessmen, independent specialists and ordinary people.

Corruption level Statistical services are not measured

100% of the absence of corruption is not anywhere. At the beginning of the list of the country where the corrupt officials are small, at the end are the most "bribe" states. New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland are cleaner from this attack. Russian Federation at 132th place out of 175, nearest neighbors - Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Most of the most corrupt officials in North Korea, South Sudan and Somalia. There, judging by the rating, steps do not step without a bribe.

Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine are recognized as one of the most corruption countries.

Rating of happiness

Since 2012, on the UN initiative, a study is carried out by the achievements aimed at creating conditions for universal happiness. The country's position in the international rating of happiness is determined by a number of statistical criteria: the size of the gross product in terms of per capita, lifespan, respect for rights and freedoms, stability and confidence in the future, the size of unemployment and corruption. In addition, these polls are taken into account to identify the degree of confidence and generosity of citizens. Respondents also offer to evaluate their feeling of happiness on a certain gradation.

Sociologists and statistics learned to measure the level of happiness

The rating of happiness for 2017 includes 155 countries. The most happy people of the planet recognized Norwegians. Denmark, the leader of last year, took 2nd place. Following Iceland, Switzerland, Finland. Residents of the Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden also entered the Top-10 lucky ones. But citizens of many large and economically wealthy states rejoice in life are not so active.

The happiness of each person does not depend on the ratings

The United States took only the 14th place, Germany - 16th. The British were at the index of happiness 19th, Brazilians - 22, the cheerful French only on the 31st line. Emotional Italians have become 48. For them Russians, then Belize and Japan. China in the middle of the rankings - at 79 positions.

Life expectancy

The Life Expected Life Expectancy (Life Expected Index) is one of the main criteria of world statistics. It shows the socio-demographic situation in the states and the world. It is not easy age in which people die on average. Scientists consider the index as the number of years that a certain generation person conventionally lives if the mortality rate remains unchanged.

The average life expectancy in Russia approached global indicators

This indicator characterizes not only demography, but also many other aspects affecting the life expectancy: the development of the economy, the health level, the degree of education and the sanitary culture of the population. The prospects for the development of society depend on the growth or reduction of the index of the expected life expectancy of life.

The Life Expected Index calculated by the UN technique is derived from national statistical departments. The rating is published annually, but the report uses information for previous years. Now relevant rating, compiled according to data for 2016. Leaders in this indicator - Hong Kong (index of expected lifespan - 84), Japan (83.5), Italy (83.1), Singapore (83.0), Switzerland (83.0). In the top ten countries of long-livers are Iceland and Spain, there is index 82.6, Australia and Israel (82.4), France - 82.2.

Japanese - recognized long-livers, they are even a pension with physical education

Lower positions in the list are occupied by African countries. There, the life expectancy is ranging from 55 to 49 years.

Russia recently consistently improves its position in the ranking. Now it is located at 116th place with an index of 70.1.

Middle Life Extension - 71 Year

But in the average life expectancy rating, which introduced the World Health Organization (WHO), the Russians rose even higher, at 110 position, approaching the global performance. And a group of ten leader countries, according to WHO, looks somewhat different. Japan occupies the first place. And instead of Hong Kong and Singapore - Germany and Sweden.
