LifeStyle In Cyprus Cyprus has come in 25th out of 175 countries in the UN's annual Human Development Index measuring quality of life across the world. In working out the best place to live, the report seeks to go beyond per-capita-income, and includes factors such as educational levels, health care, and life expectancy in order to measure a nation's well being.Cyprus rank has risen steadily over the last two decades since it was first included in the study in 1980.A worldwide advisory network of leaders in academia, government, and civil society contributed data, ideas, and best practices to support the analysis and proposals included in this year's report.
Countries with the lowest development rankings were all in Africa. Roughly half the countries in Latin America recorded either a decline or a plateau in income during the last decade, while per-capita income also fell in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, especially in Russia, Moldova, Tajikistan, and the Ukraine.The top 10 ranked nations considered to have the best quality of life according to this year's report are: Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Australia, Netherlands, Belgium, United States, Canada, Japan, and Switzerland.Great Britain finished 13th in the overall index. Cost of Living A relatively low cost of living, compared to western European standards, allows you to maintain a lifestyle you could not dream of in the UK. The standard of living is high, for overseas visitors and locals alike, making it pleasant to be there. Food, clothing, facilities and services are just like the ones you are accustomed to, while a state of the art telecommunications network keeps you in touch with the family, friends, business ...the world. No hidden costs as far as your property is concerned, knowing exactly how much it will cost you and being a fraction of what one needs to pay in the UK.
