According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED), Australia is the world’s third best place to live and work. The increasing successful cases of Australian immigration are a proof to this.
UK is ranked 10th in the OCED index. USA and Scandinavian countries are ranked 1st and 2nd respectively. France and Germany were ranked 17th and 18th in OCED index.
Australia is highly appreciated for its growing economy and quality living standards. A number of people apply for Australian immigration every day.
Australia maintains its position in OCED index for the third consecutive year. It is considered to be the home of the happiest industrial nation with improved health and housing facilities. Life expectancy is also higher than other countries. An average person can live up to 82 years in Australia.
The average life expectancy according to OCED is 80, which indicate Australian nationals have two years more than OCED’s average age. Also 90% people voted to have a satisfied life in Australia that is again 3% more than OCED’s average limit. The number of applications for Australian immigration is also notably high.
Australia secured an excellent score for high public engagement. It offers good work-life balance.
UK in contrast has a high score for income and employment but it has a poor work-life balance. People have to work for very long hours 5 days a week.
The average income in UK is £17,800 per year whereas the average annual income per household is £15,300 per OCED average. But the monetary contrast between rich and poor is very high.
According to the think tank – a Paris based organization; there are 11 parameters that measure a country’s well being. These include community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, housing, income, jobs, life satisfaction, safety and work-life balance.
Turkey ranked the lowest among the 36 countries OCED considered for the survey.
Portugal ranked 28th whereas Greece ranked 30th in the list. Both countries had lowest score for employment with 56% and 64% people having a paid job in respective countries.
Other countries in the list that are affected by euro-zone scored quite low score for all 11 parameters.
