[新聞] 2013年『最適合出生』的國家
雖然美國是個充滿希望與機會的地方,但,根據經濟學人雜誌研究機構所提出的『2013年度生活品質指標』,瑞士才是今年最適合生長的一片淨土。
The EIU(經濟學人雜誌研究機構) 是經濟學人雜誌的關係企業,將11項與生活相關的因素,例如富裕程度、犯罪率、家庭生活、政府給人民的信任度、以及經濟穩定情況等等因素,對各國人民進行問卷調查。並對2013年每個新生兒未來的均收入進行預測,其估計是以當前經濟情況,至2030年時的均所得進行的推估。研究結果,2013年最理想的出生國家排名為:
2013年『最適合出生』的國家前十名: The top ten best places to be born in 2013:
1. Switzerland (瑞士)
2. Australia (澳洲)
3. Norway (挪威)
4. Sweden (瑞典)
5. Denmark (丹麥)
6. Singapore (新加坡)
7. New Zealand (紐西蘭)
8. Netherlands (荷蘭)
9. Canada (加拿大)
10. Hong Kong (香港)
瑞士的經濟體雖然小,但是十分的穩定,其國民生活富裕、健康,政府非常受人民的信賴,因此得到第一名。另外,經濟學人研究機構The EIU解釋,美國因為當前龐大的債務,每位此期間的新生兒將會繼承龐大的債務,使得排名退到了第16名。另外,肇因於歐債危機的影響,一些傳統強權國家的情況也沒有特別好。歐洲最大的經濟體-法國得到第26名,德國和美國平手得到第16名,英國則得到第27名。
另外,生活品質指標也反應了中東跟北非情勢的改變,其人民對未來生活的期望開始穩定成長,政治自由的情況也成為了全球化的趨勢,這兩個地區的指標數據都有明顯的進步。雖然如此,奈及利亞則在這次調查中,被認為是2013年最不適合新生兒出生的國家。
其他令人感興趣的結果像是,中國(49名),俄羅斯(72名)。回顧過往,1988年的前三名,則分別是美國、法國以及德國。倒數的前三名則為,辛巴威、伊拉克以及伊朗。
大部分的人認為,生活品質指標名次的改變,某種程度也反應了現今的世界情況。一個國家的局勢穩定和政府機關給人民的信任感最能夠給人民好的生活品質和福祉。

Best Places to Be Born in 2013
Though America may be the "land of opportunity," Switzerland will be the best place to be born in 2013 according to a quality-of-life index from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
The EIU, a sister company to The Economist magazine, determines quality of life based on surveys of the population covering 11 factors including wealth, crime, family life, trust in government and the stability of the economy.
Income estimates for babies born in 2013 are based on projections for the year 2030, when those children will come of age.
The top ten best places to be born in 2013:
1. Switzerland
2. Australia
3. Norway
4. Sweden
5. Denmark
6. Singapore
7. New Zealand
8. Netherlands
9. Canada
10. Hong Kong
With its small but very stable economy, Switzerland comes in first, wealthy, healthy and trusting of its public institutions. The United States, "where babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation, languishes back in 16th place," the EIU explains. Feeling the effects of the European monetary crisis, "the largest European economies, France (26), Germany (tied with the U.S. for 16) and Britain (27), don't do particularly well."
The quality-of-life index also reflects changes in the Middle East and North Africa, where "life expectancy continues to increase steadily and political freedoms have spread across the globe," though Nigeria comes in as the worst place for a baby to be born in 2013.
Other interesting ratings include China, coming in at 49, and Russia, coming in at 72.
Back in 1988, the United States was in first place, with France in second, and West Germany in third. Zimbabwe was last, with Iraq second to last and Iran third to last.
For a more detailed explanation of how these numbers are calculated, see "the lottery of life methodology."
All said, the takeaway from the index seems to be that in today's world, a country's stability and trust in public institutions results in the best quality of life for its citizens.
