Date: January 2010
Source: International Living
Base: 192 Countries
Notes: The magazine's Quality of Life Index ranks countries in nine different categories - Cost of Living, Culture and Leisure, Economy, Environment, Freedom, Health, Infrastructure, Safety and Risk, and Climate - and then collates the results to produce an overall ranking. You can see the full list at the link above. It is an annual survey and for the fifth year running France came top. We also have a 2005 quality of life top ten which was produced by The Economist magazine.
