Canada named among top 5 countries with the best quality of life

“Through all phases of life, these countries are seen as treating their citizens well.”

A study by U.S. News & World Report has ranked Canada as the country with the fifth-highest quality of life in the world.

Denmark and Sweden occupy the top two spots on the list, followed by Switzerland and Norway.

“Beyond the essential ideas of broad access to food, housing, quality education, health care and employment, quality of life also may include intangibles such as job security, political stability, individual freedom and environmental quality. Through all phases of life, these countries are seen as treating their citizens well.”

The United States did not make the top 10.
