How’s life?

11 july, 2011

Luxembourg’s quality of life is compared with 33 other developed countries on the OECD‘s www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org site. Rather than giving a single number to rank countries, the site allows individual users to rank countries based on what is important to them. Luxembourg is rated as having high income, strong community infrastructure and a pleasant environment – so if this is important to you, you might find life quality to be better here than elsewhere. However, work-life balance and over all life satisfaction are ranked in the middle with education and (somewhat oddly) personal safety lower still. Overall, 74% of people in Luxembourg reported having more positive experiences in an average day than negative ones This figure is slightly higher than the OECD average of 72%.
