The standard of living refers to the level of wealth, comfort, necessities, and material goods available to a certain geographic area. Quality of life is the standard of health, comfort, and happiness experienced by a group.

The Social Progress Imperative is a not-for-profit organization that defines “social progress as the capacity of society to meet the basic human needs of its citizens, establish the building blocks that allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives, and create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential.”

Quality of Life Index

The Social Progress Imperative uses the Social Progress Index to rank countries based on their quality of life. The Social Progress Index combines the scores of three main indexes:

  • Basic Human Needs (health care, sanitation, and shelter)
  • Foundations of Wellbeing (life expectancy and access to education and technology)
  • Opportunity (personal rights, freedom of choice, and general tolerance)
This suggests that GDP is not the only gauge for a higher standard of living; however, the top ten countries with the highest quality of life rankings are developed nations. Having a strong economy has a positive impact on providing the three indexes.

The table below also provides indexes for safety, health care, pollution, and climate, all factors that contribute to the quality of life, health, and happiness of a group of people.

Based on these factors, the ten countries with the highest quality of life are:

  1. Denmark
  2. Switzerland
  3. Finland
  4. Australia
  5. Iceland
  6. Austria
  7. Netherlands
  8. German
  9. New Zealand
  10. Sweden
Denmark has the highest quality of life index of 196.47. Denmark has high social mobility and impressive equality rates. Denmark scores very high in the “basic human needs” index, particularly in medical care and sanitation with scores above 99.0%.

The United States is ranked 13th in the quality of life index at 176.77. The US safety index and health care index are relatively low compared to other nations with a very high quality of life.

Below is a table with each country’s quality of life index, as well as their safety index, health care index, pollution index, and climate index.

I used to give lot of credibility to these reports but over the years and travel I have concluded these reports are not worth the paper they are written on. Iceland, Sweden, Finland can keep their numbers. Life is not just numbers. The weather in these countries is terrible. The only escape from those long dark winters is drink. The family has largely broken down and under the excuse of patriachial tyranny they have replaced it with matriarchal anarchy where their women think it is cool to have kids with Nigerian pimps and have the poor Swede work his a*ss off to pay for all this. The Swede male is increasingly oppressed, lonely, alcoholic and suicidal.
 
after corona pandemic much will change and standard of life will collectively go down
 
So living standard in Lebanon is lower than India
Not to say there are no issues in Lebanon but I sort of agree with you, recently I saw a video of an Indian guy going to Ramallah in Palestine and his opinion was ,there are more luxury cars and less poverty there than in Dehli, haha.
 
  • Basic Human Needs (health care, sanitation, and shelter)
  • Foundations of Wellbeing (life expectancy and access to education and technology)
The rest are just propaganda.

What about public safety ? safety for women? safety for children?
CRIME RATE?
Transport infrastructure?
Ease of Logistics?
convenience for public?
Legitimacy over fellow citizens?
^
I believe these are some of the most important factors to measure living standards.
How can living standard be high in places teeming with crime ,rape while suffering from poor transport infrastructure,poor logistics and public inconvenience, also low legitimacy over fellow civilians while the people in a more authoritative position have their way without having to answer?
But of course, such polls wouldn't factor in the above measures because that would put East Asian nation like China pretty high,just behind the likes of Japan,Korea .

India is 54, while China 67. Mexico 49, Ukraine 65. So unbiased. Unthinkable.
Have you heard of Mexico Mafia? Ukraine is in war with Russia. Enjoy your ranking data, so delusional.

I'm sorry maybe there was a typo. Let me adjust it to make you happy and not complain at all about any of the rankings. In fact if it looked like this it would happily be posted over and over by multiple Chinese posters who wouldn't care where the others rank or whether it seemed logical.

China: 1
US: 13
Japan: 14
Taiwan: 34
Singapore: 35
Pakistan: 60
Russia: 62

Seriously???

For the first time, China is higher than HK!!

Despite its just one rank difference, it's a milestone.


Not to mention China is huge... but on average it's higher.

I don't know what HK people are going to say about it.


I saw many photos of how ordinary HK people live... I don't think it's a nice photo, it's a cage house with laundry hanged around in the room.

It's no wonder if HK people are protesting on the street because deep in their heart, mainland China is catching up... but their ego prevents them to admit it.

HK people are too proud of their democracy... the disgusting ideology of the mainland is actually better... they don't blame democracy but they still unable to point out the mistake of the system and it must be a human error which is HK politicians.
