Insider Monkey Score: 9
Canada ranks 11th in our list of the countries with the highest standard of living in the world in 2017. The standard of living is quite high in Canada, as shown by its appearance on this list. The average income is over $30,000. However, the standard of living is not as uniform as you might expect; the top 20 percent actually earn five times as much as the bottom 20 percent. With 90 percent of the population having completed secondary education, literacy is also not an issue in the country, leading to better jobs and therefore a better life.
