The Best Country: A Multifaceted Concept

In today’s digital and advanced era, many factors contribute to the concept of a “best country”. Factors such as high living standards, economic prosperity, effective governance, social progress, technological advancement, and a welcoming immigration landscape are some major factors contributing to the multifaceted definition of “best countries”.

According to the latest economic report by the IMF, The global economy is expected to grow at a rate of 3.1% in 2024 and by 3.2% in 2025. The recent forecasts by the IMF presented improved growth prospects, driven by strong performance exhibited by the US and several other countries. Inflation is anticipated to decline faster and reach 5.8% in 2024, and 4.4% in 2025. China and the United States are the top countries boasting the highest GDPs of $35.4 trillion and $27.9 trillion respectively. The countries boast robust markets, contributing significantly to their economies. These countries are also forecasted to become the largest economies in the world by 2100.

Quality of Life

The quality of life is a major aspect of a country’s desirability. Good healthcare, education, inclusivity, gender equality, and economic well-being are some of the major factors contributing to the high quality of life. Recent advancements and innovations in healthcare are expected to increase life expectancy in many countries, subsequently improving the health and well-being of its residents. According to a report by the McKinsey Institute of Health, nearly 6 years of life per person could be added to the life expectancy in the coming decades. The report further states that many countries have experienced significant improvement in their health and wellbeing such as Ireland and Thailand. Both countries have gained 3 and 4.5 years in their life expectancies. As we mentioned before in our article about the 30 countries with the highest standard of living, the past few decades experienced significant improvement in overall quality of life, evidenced by the high average household income of $28,000 and median wealth of $162,000 of the OECD countries. Factors such as improved economic prospects, high employment rates, and affordable costs of living are contributing to the high living standards. Some of the top countries with the highest living standards include the United States, Switzerland, and the UAE among others.

The immigration prospects of a country also provide insights into its cultural diversity, living standards, and economic opportunities. Countries such as the US, Germany, and Saudi Arabia are the top countries with the most immigrants, hosting millions of both authorized and unauthorized foreign-born individuals. Saudi Arabia and the UAE attract a substantially higher number of immigrants in the Middle East, majorly for labor purposes. According to the International Organization for Migration, around 113.9 million migrant workers reside in high-income countries, accounting for a total of 67% of the total immigrant population. Whereas, the number of migrant workers in middle-income and low-income countries is 29% and 3.6%, respectively.

Business in the Best Countries of the World

A favorable environment for investment and business growth is another factor that makes a country the best, contributing to its economy and overall living standard. Some of the major companies driving innovation in the best countries of the world include Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), SAP SE (NYSE:SAP), and Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN).

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a global market leader, boasting a market cap of $3.02 trillion, as of February 28. On January 30, the company released its earnings for the fiscal second quarter of 2024. The company reported an EPS of $2.93 and beat estimates by $0.16. The company reported a revenue of $62.02 billion for the quarter, surpassing forecasts by $890.6 million. Its revenue for the quarter grew by 17.58%. As of February 28, Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock has surged more than 25% over the past six months.

SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) is a multinational software company, headquartered in Germany. On February 13, the company announced the launch of SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW/4HANA solutions, at the leading company providing mass-capacity data storage solutions, Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX). The new solutions will modernize the ERP system of the company, benefitting around 30,000 global employees. This is the third significant phase of Seagate Technology Holdings plc’s (NASDAQ: STX) digital transformation by SAP SE (NYSE:SAP).

Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) is a multinational chemical and engineering company. On January 30, the company announced that it had started supplying captured carbon dioxide and clean hydrogen to the leading chemical company, Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE). The company will utilize it to create methanol. This collaboration expands on the existing agreement between Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) and Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE) to reduce their carbon footprint.

Now, let’s have a look at the 50 best countries in the world.

50 Best Countries in the World

Methodology

For our list of the best countries in the world, we defined the best country as one that has advanced technology, presents robust economic opportunities, and focuses on providing a high-quality living standard to its residents. A country with such attributes is also considered desirable for immigrants. The high number of immigrants moving to a country can be considered as a potential factor of its diverse cultures, quality of life, and overall economy.

To address these factors, we employed four metrics, Human Development Index (HDI), R&D Expenditure, GDP (PPP), and International Migrant Stock. International Migrant Stock is the number of international migrants in a country. Firstly, we sorted our countries based on their HDI and collated a list of 80 countries. Then, we sorted our countries based on our metrics and assigned ranks to the countries. Then. we calculate the final score by allocating weights to the ranks of our metrics, as 20% to HDI, 40% to GDP (PPP), 20% to R&D Expenditure, and 20% to International Migrant Stock. Finally, we ranked countries in descending order of their calculated score.

Note: We have ranked the United States as the top country on our list of the 50 best countries in the world, as it is the most innovative country in the world, and also has the highest number of immigrants in the world. The country possesses a strong economy and provides a high quality of life to its residents.

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on May 2, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
