法国当选生活质量最高的国家 伊拉克垫底
France has the world's highest quality of life
A French couple
International Living magazine -- a US leading resource for helping people
live and travel overseas -- has released its 26th Annual Quality of Life Index.
According to IL's comprehensive analysis, France again offers the greatest
Quality of Life of any country, while war-torn Iraq remains in last place.
Despite high taxes, bureaucracy, and a high cost of living, France returns
after taking over the top position last year.
"France has a good climate, unspoiled countryside, and great health care.
And its capital, Paris, is arguably the world's most beautiful and romantic city
on earth," said Laura Sheridan, Managing Editor of International Living
magazine, who conducted the study. "Add to all this the world-competitive
infrastructure and you can understand why we'd name France the world's best
place to live."
To produce the annual index, International Living considers nine
categories: Cost of Living, Culture and Leisure, Economy, Environment, Freedom,
Health, Infrastructure, Safety and Risk, and Climate. International Living uses
statistics from a number of official government, non-profit, and media sources
for much of the number crunching.
The United States -- which had ranked at the top of the charts for an
impressive 21 consecutive years until being dethroned in last year's survey --
regained its footing, and climbed back to the number 5 slot from number 7 in
last year's survey.
