Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013, and the U.S.
is just 16th.
A new study produced by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies
will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong, Ireland and even
Canada.
The EIU, a sister company of The Economist, attempted to measure how well
countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and
prosperous life in years to come.
People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best
quality of life judged in terms of wealth, health and trust in public
institutions, according to the analysis.
The Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark also all make the
top five in a 'quality-of-life' index highlighting where it is best to be
born next year.
In 1988, the U.S. came top of a rank of 50 countries, though has not
achieved the top spot since.
The index links the results of subjective life-satisfaction surveys - how
happy people say they are - to objective determinants of quality of life
across countries.
One of the most important factors is being rich, but other factors come into
play - including crime, trust in public institutions and the health of
family life.
In total, the index takes into account 11 indicators.
These include fixed factors such as geography, others that change slowly
over time such as demography, social and cultural characteristics, and the
state of the world economy.
The index also looks at income per head in 2030, which is roughly when
children born in 2013 will reach adulthood.
Small economies dominate the top 10 countries, with Australia coming second
and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.
Half of the top 10 countries are European, but only one, the Netherlands, is
from the euro-zone.
The crisis-ridden south of Europe, including Greece, Portugal and Spain,
lags behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate.
经济学人智库(Economist Intelligence Unit)一项调查显示，如果你在今天来到这个
世界上，并可自由选择出生地，那么至少有15个国家要比美国更好。
经济学人智库根据11个指标给80个国家打分，评选出哪些国家提供最好机会让人拥
有一个健康、安全与富裕人生。一些调查结果让人意外。
这些指标包括经济机会、卫生标准与政治自由度等硬性指标，也包括生活品质、
2030年经济预测(今日出生者届时将步入成年)等主观指标。男女是否平等、失业率、犯
罪率与天气也纳入了考虑范围。
从图中可以看出，富裕国家排名都比较靠前，但没排在最前面。经济最为发达的美
国与德国均排在第16位。日本排在25位，英国与法国排名更加靠后。在80个国家中，中
国排在第49位，排在拉脱维亚与匈牙利后面。
如果你是西方人，如果你正在抱怨美国的衰退与欧洲的没落，那么请想一想，至少
你的孩子非常幸地在正确的时间，出生在正确的地点。 | f**********r
