Bécs a világ legélhetőbb városa, Bagdadban a legrosszabb a helyzet. London, Párizs és New York nem jutott be a top 35-be - derül ki a Mercer 18. alkalommal elkészített Quality of Life felméréséből.
Aki a legjobb helyeken akar élni, jól teszi, ha megtanul németül. Az első helyezett Bécs, a második Zürich, de a top 10-ben ott van még München (4), Düsseldorf (6), Frankfurt (7) és Genf (8) is. Nagyot esett a listán Párizs: 10 hellyel hátrébb kerültek, a 37.-re, ami a megnövekedett terrorfenyegetettség következménye.
A tanulmányban a társadalmi és gazdasági körülményeket, az egészségügyet, az oktatást, a lakáskörülményeket és a környezeti tényezőket vizsgálták. A felmérés eredményeit a nagy multicégek figyelembe veszik, amikor döntenek egy új telephelyről, vagy épp az adott városban adott fizetésekről.
Hol jobb és hol rosszabb, mint Budapesten?
Ebből a szempontból nem különösebben jó hír, hogy Budapest csak a 77. lett a listán. A nyugat-európai fővárosokkal nem versenyezhetünk, a régióban viszont megelőzzük Vilniust (79), Varsót (79), Pozsonyt (82), Zágrábot (98), Bukarestet (109), de előttünk van Prága (69) és Ljubjana (76).
