I don't know. I feel like a gay man from UAE or a woman from Saudi Arabia might be happier in some countries lower in the rankings.

How are they elitist when they spend so much on healthcare, mental health, job matching, and education for every average person? To the point everyone happily pays more taxes.

I dont get your post.

After hearing some of the horror stories about rent, I am surprised to find Canada that high.
Also surprised to find Australia and New Zealand that low.
I guessed Finland to be #1, but eh, close enough.

Depends on what part of Canada i guess. Like Toronto or Vancouver, absurdly high rent.

Unaffordable housing is a serious issue in NZ, and the cost of living is getting much worse.
Also, we have consistently had a big problem with suicide rates.

And, y'know, the entire country being on fire for weeks on end probably doesn't help either.

I thought the USA would be much lower, as much as it's citizens cry and are constantly offended over virtually everything.
