One of the three countries that made the most progress is Pakistan, leaping from #32 in 2016 to #14 overall this year. According to U.S News, Pakistan scored #73 on quality of life. Yet, the nation managed to tie with Canada, Australia, and Finland at #1 for the best places to make a living.
Government support and access to non-financial assistance in Pakistan lag behind most countries. However, the nation scored exceptionally high for women in leadership positions and ease of accessing investment.
The US is now at #32, the number that was occupied by Pakistan earlier.
Pakistan’s Ranking on Each Metric Is As Below
- Making a Living – 01

“Pakistan, despite having limited government support and being difficult to sell to businesses and government agencies, still commands #1 for earning a living. The nation’s comeback in this category is a remarkable feat given the country was ranked #30 in 2016. The improvement of livable income may be because Pakistan has become a more open market for do-good companies to sell to the general public,” Writes Forbes.
