Apart from the essential indicators of a country’s prosperity such as access to food and shelter, healthcare, quality education, and employment, intangible factors like political stability, job security, freedom, and environmental quality also determine the trajectory of a country’s development.
Therefore, while a country’s GDP, GNP, and Per Capita Income are important to determine its growth, the quality of life can only be assessed after considering the intangible factors.
Recently, the best countries rankings 2019 have been released. According to the rankings, Canada treats its citizen the best in all phases of life. The second country to follow suit is Sweden and the third country providing the best quality of life to its denizens is Denmark.
It is quite understandable that the Western region would surpass the Eastern in this realm as well. However, some Asian countries waged way better than others. Unfortunately, Pakistan is among the latter, i.e., of bad performers. It ranked 73rd out of 80 countries, moving two slots down than the previous year, as it ranked 71 in 2018.
