The 2010 Quality of Life Index is out and Kuwait ranked 106 which is up nearly 30 spots since 2006. Jordan is the only Arab country ahead coming in at 104 while UAE is 141 and Lebanon 113. The highest ranking goes to France followed by Australia and then Switzerland. Here is the link to the full list. [Link]

Haha Sweden cost of living: 0
Yeah it’s pretty expensive to live there.
Tunisia is higher than both Jordan and Kuwait
don’t you think the UN(HDI) is a more accurate measure?
i mean most of the balkans states can’t be a better place to live than the gulf, can it?
Jordan ?!?!

maybe because it has the highest NOKIA demand in the middle east.. but wait a minute, we don’t eat cellphones !

@ FYI .Most countries are better to live in than the Gulf countries.You should get out more.
Mashallah, inshallah kwait will win u, number 1 in 2012 (after the end of the world)
I think you have missed Tunisia, so that makes it 2 Arab countries ahead :)
According to that chart, India (#88) has a higher quality of life index than Kuwait.
i know nothing about this??
Um.. I think this is a bogus chart. It doesn’t make sense whatsoever. I agree there are many places that have a better living quality than the gulf regions, but Cuba and China beat kuwait???
There are a lot of factors that determine ‘a better quality of life’.It’s based on the living conditions and standard of living based on the whole population and not a privileged few.So being able to afford to hang out at malls doesn’t count.Hence Kuwait is not up there.
Risk & Saftey Index: Brazil 89, USA 100, Mexico 79, Morroco 78, Philipines 71, Kuwait 71!!!…..Something is not right here
kuwait 104 ??? better than uae??… wat quality of living when there are no pubs , discos !!
some of them maybe true and some are not!
and i think the chart is a dummy… =)
I dont think that it’s based on real life xD
