The Economist Intelligence Unit, appartenant à l’hebdomadaire The Economist, a sorti son classement annuel des villes où il fait bon vivre. Tout comme l’année dernière, Melbourne (Australie) reste la ville la plus agréable devant Vienne (Autriche) et Vancouver (Canada). Paris est 16ème, ex-aequo avec Montréal (Canada)…
The Economist Intelligence Unit s’est basé sur plusieurs critères pour classer ces villes :
- Le PIB par habitant
- L’espérance de vie
- La stabilité au niveau politique et la sécurité
- Le taux de divorce
- L’importance de la vie communautaire et religieuse
- La latitude à laquelle se trouve le pays
- Le taux de chômage
- La liberté politique
- La parité des salaires
