Healthcare, living costs, and security makes US one of world's worst places to live
The US ranked only 47th out of 64 countries as the best place to live in the world for the second consecutive year.
Thats according to the major benchmark Expat Insider 2019 report which surveyed 20,259 expats, representing 182 nationalities and living in 187 countries or territories.
An expat is defined as an employee sent abroad on a corporate assignment or classed as a new international hire. The survey ran from 7 to 28 March. Respondents were asked to score 48 different factors which fall into 17 subcategories related to living abroad. Those 17 subcategories are then put into five pillars Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, Family Life, and Personal Finance.
For a place to be ranked, there needs to be a sample size of at least 75 survey participants per destination. The only exception to this rule is the Family Life Index, where a sample size of at least 40 respondents raising children abroad is necessary.

(6,913 posts)1. I heard Rush today saying this survey is just a plain ol' lie, 'Murca is clearly the best!
Apparently Libs like to denigrate the U.S., for reasons unclear to me.
