Quality of Life Index 2011

Quality of Life Index 2011

192 countries ranked and rated to reveal the Best Places to Live. Established at the beginning of each year by Irish magazine International Living, the Quality of Life Index 2011 ranked Ukraine 73d internationally, a slot it shares with South Africa, Botswana, Tunisia, the Dominican Republic, Morocco, Namibia, as well as Trinidad and Tobago. The index includes 9 items and a final score that reflects the average of scores under each heading.

The nine Quality of Life Index categories are: cost of living, culture, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and risk, and climate.

The first place went to USA (last year it was France), followed by the TOP 10 – New Zealand, Malta, France, Monaco, Belgium, Japan, United Kingdom, Austria, and Germany. Ukraine takes the 73d place, traditionally giving the way to Namibia. Thus, Ukraine is credited with the lowest score of 27 in economy, 82 in culture, 75 in freedom.

Russia has been ranked 118th and Belarus took the 141st place. Among post-Soviet countries Estonia has been ranked the highest and took 32nd place, Latvia – 33d and Lithuania – 36th.
