I’m looking for perspectives on which countries most effectively combine high quality of life with low social and economic inequality.

As an Aussie I so want to be in France, but they’re not immigrant friendly so that seems out, so I’m stuck in this shit hole
France isnt even on the list.
France’s actually pretty okay. France’s on place 27. Spain’s 33. But that’s shared with Hungary. And the US is on 29.
You should therefore not base your decision exclusively off from IHDI, but on your particular situation. IHDI is primarily useful as a rough indicator for what places have good healthcare, equality, and education.
I don’t know if there’s an index for how democratic a country is (that takes into account horizontal organisation, workplace democracy & pro-unionism). But an improved IHDI would take into account the things I mentioned in my previous comment.
It’d also be useful to include pedestrian and bicycle friendliness, as well as social progress, wealth inequality, and corruption. With all things considered, the US and Hungary would drop much more.
