At the same time, indicators of quality of life are made up of several fundamental aspects, including demographic criteria, income level and living conditions (climatic, social, housing, etc.).

Strong america
A confident middle position is held by the United States of America. The most powerful nuclear state is often called a superpower. Countless natural resources and strategic energy reserves provide huge and modern America with the first place in terms of exported products, including automobiles, black gold and steel.
For several decades, the United States has been included in the ranking of countries in terms of living standards, occupying rather high lines there. More than 300 million people have a high income, which in terms of GDP is about 53 thousand dollars per person. In addition, despite the huge external debt of the United States, the country's unemployment rate is extremely small, barely reaching 6%.
Green Australia
The continent of dreams - so often speak of Australia. This country is not accidentally included in the ranking of countries with a high standard of living. A well-established economic situation is a model for many developing countries. The main areas of life in Australia are considered health and education.
Deposits of valuable minerals (gold, zinc, iron ore, uranium, etc.) make it possible to carry out constant raw material exports, which affects the quality of life of all segments of the population living on its territory.
The level of GDP, as the main indicator of the residents' well-being, is about 68 thousand dollars a year per person. The population is over 21 million, and on average people live here up to 82 years. By the way, in Australia, the most suitable conditions for doing business just arrived migrants.
Tiny belgium
A small in size, but with a lot of advantages, the royal state, located in Western Europe, continues to rank countries in terms of living standards. It is about one of the most densely populated countries of the named part of the world - Belgium.
Occupying a leading place in the export of diamonds, textiles and metallurgical products, the country has high economic indicators. At the same time, the Belgian territory is relatively small, but more than 11 million people live on it. Hence the geographical density of the people living here.

Rich switzerland
Switzerland is a power located in the western part of Europe. In the story about her, the first thing that comes to mind is local banking institutions. The most influential people living in all parts of the globe keep their savings in them.
In an economically stable state, the chemical industry and the tourism business are at their peak.
A feature of the country is the high level of education of its population: 9 out of 10 people have higher education.
The country's population is relatively low - it does not reach 8 million people, each of which accounts for about 46 thousand dollars annually. Despite the fact that the number of non-working citizens here does not exceed 2%. Swiss residents usually live up to 82 years.
Dear norway
So, Norway, destined for her first place, opens the ranking of countries in terms of living.
Located in Scandinavia, the state skillfully provides the needs of its population, the number of which does not exceed 5 million. Norway owes its economic development and confidence to the oil and gas industry and fishing. Volumes from the export of these goods create favorable conditions for the quality of life of citizens. For example, GDP is here 57 thousand dollars.
Unfortunately, considering the high world rating of living standards, the CIS countries cannot yet be met there. Most of the post-Soviet states are in our time at a transitional stage of their financial and economic development.
However, among the countries that signed the Commonwealth agreement, undoubtedly, the first place can be confidently given to Russia. The huge annual volumes of exported goods of almost all kinds of industries, the potential of natural resources and the desire of the country's leadership and population to bring it to a new economic level are the main engines on Russia's path to improving the quality of life.
