Where are the World's Most Privileged Nations?
People with ample employment opportunities, better health facilities, financial stability, and a better standard of living constitute a privileged nation. Being among the luckiest nations is not just a matter of luck, it requires hard work and consistency. There are some people who are just born lucky. Usually, this is associated with being in the right place at the right time.
The nations with the luckiest people were chosen based on analysing all the data collected in a study conducted by ABCD agency.
The sheer amount of development these countries have had certainly deserves mention. For example, Canada and the United States of America are power allies, neighbours, and world leaders. However, when data is compared, Canada has a higher score than the United States. From infrastructural development to crime rate and healthcare facilities, Canada has been working more to develop its social standing first. Hence it is consistently listed among the top 15 nations with the luckiest people. We must be aware of how these rankings or scores are provided to the nations.
Below are the main fields of investigation
● Career Opportunities: We all know that income is vital for our survival. Imagine a country with no employment opportunities. No chances are equal to no income, and how can you survive without money? This significant parameter is a mixture of income inequality, social mobility, population and youth unemployment.
● Liberty and Life Satisfaction: Would you stay in a country where you have no freedom? The right to liberty is a combination of gender equality, human rights, general life satisfaction and passport strength.
● Safety and Health: Imagine you have ample money and freedom, but your health is deteriorating. Our safety must be our foremost priority. Factors such as safety, life expectancy, road safety and air pollution contribute to this section.
● Finance: Good financial stability has always played an important role in people’s lives. When you are a person with big dreams, you want to gain financial stability. Switzerland is the country that topped the list and scored 100 out of 100 in terms of finance.
