The international project Numbeo annually compiles a quality of life ranking among countries. The authors evaluate the quality of life based on the following criteria: climate, environmental pollution, purchasing power, housing price-to-income ratio, cost of living, security, healthcare quality, and commuting time.

Thus, in the first half of 2024, Luxembourg topped the ranking of countries in terms of quality of life, while Nigeria was in last place among 83 countries. Let's learn more about the leaders and outsiders of this year's ranking.
