The 80 Best Countries To Be Born In, In The World by ducii: 5:45pm On Oct 23, 2014 |
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a sister company of The Economist, recently revealed a list of the best countries to be born in 2013—and Switzerland took the number one spot. The EIU polled people in 80 countries to find out which countries have the highest quality of life and which countries would give babies a “healthy, safe, and prosperous life.” The rankings were based on a series of life satisfaction surveys that factored in 11 different economic, political, geographic, and demographic indicators. When all was said and done, Switzerland scored the highest with a score of 8.22 out of 10 for its high quality of family and community life, job security, political freedom, and safety. Australia came in second with a score of 8.12. Scandinavian countries also scored high, with Norway (8.09), Sweden (8.02), and Denmark (8.01) coming in third, fourth, and fifth respectively. Nigeria scored the lowest of the 80 countries surveyed, with a score of 4.74. But most surprisingly, the U.S. didn't even break the top ten. It came in 16th with a score of 7.38—probably because American "babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation," according to The Economist. The last time the U.S. took the number one spot on this survey was in 1988. Because of the subjective nature of the surveys, the index’s ratings are far from perfect—though Switzerland may disagree. http://www.businessinsider.com/best-countries-to-be-born-2012-12#ixzz3GzH0v4i9

Theben: Theben my Eba chopping friend Ghana and Nigeria are by no means equal in football. No matter what Ghana does, it can't never catch Nigeria in terms of population and land mass And resources. This is the only place Nigeria beats Ghana What determines a great country. Education system, road network, # of pop with access to electricity, food, water. # of people above the poverty level, percentage of unemployment, freedom/democracy, life expectancy, security, Gini which dictates wealth distribution, HDI. Tell me in which area does Nigeria beat Ghana in. Ghana is rank above Nigeria in all these areas. |

Theben: Theben, there are more nigerian taxi drivers than Ghanaian. Even here in America majority of Nigerians are taxi drivers. Ghana beats Nigeria in every area of development. So I don't really see the comparison. The only area you beat Ghana is land mass, population and resources. 1 Like |
