Trump wants Greenland to transfer some of that dark blue to the US.

Are South America, Africa and Asia greyed out or is that some other color that is not present in the legend?

In what world is the average weekly working hours for the UK 35? 37.5 is considered good, 40 is more common if you’re including unpaid lunch. Am I missing out?

They should include “Winter duration shorter than 7 months”.

Put this into words? Hard to see some of the dark blue map area for smaller countries

HDI is about as sus as the ‘basket of goods’ we use to judge poverty, but ok.

valid metric if reported

So over half the map is white and that isn’t even on the color scale?

The country I know from experience has a high quality of life in the real sense of the word it’s not even depicted in this map lol
French Guiana is a surprising one to see dark blue, can anyone attest?

This map is kind of silly. For example, homicide rate may not affect your QoL at all if it’s in one really bad neighborhood in a big city nowhere near you.

I don’t really think “being in the top 30” is a good metric to use for this, because what if there was a hypothetical future in which all countries had near perfect scores in those metrics? It would basically come down to luck in order to get from 3/6 to 6/6

And yet Thailand is full of Nordic, Aussies, Brits, Germans and French who would rather lose an arm than go back to their countries.

What the hell? How useful is this, when so much of the world isn’t shaded in?
EDIT: It didn’t even shade in a single country on the continent of Africa.

So thats why Trump wants Greenland!

I can almost guarantee Canada would have all 6, if it weren’t for the higher homicide rate being next to the US.

they should include actual self-reported happiness
UK scores dead last

Holy shit this is arbitrary. First of all those other factors already contribute to HDI, so it’s just double counting. Why 2 for murder rate? Why not 1.5 or 3? Why just murder rate? Why not crime rate? Way way more people experience crime than murder. You don’t think disposable income contributes to QOL? Why not retirement age?
