Portugal Rated the Best Country to Live as a Family

Written By Manuel Poças

According to the Report on the Relocation of Families published by the health insurance company, William Russell, Portugal is the best country in the world to live as a family.

Note that the report relies on data retrieved from sources such as the OECD, Numbeo, and TripAdvisor, among others, and considers a total of 11 factors, in order to provide a classification from 1 to 10 to each evaluated country, and build a ranking according to those classifications.

The factors considered included paid maternity, parental, and home care leave; the average number of hours worked per year; the number of attractions for children per 100,000 inhabitants; prices of childcare services; and the average monthly cost of utilities.

Portugal did well in all of the factors considered, but it really stood out in the financial categories, resulting in a total overall score of 6.33 out of 10.

The best and worst countries to live in as a family, according to the relocation report, are as follows:

Best

1) Portugal; 2) Sweden; 3) Italy; 4) Spain; 5) Finland; 6) Latvia; 7) Hungary, 8) Japan; 9) France; 10) Estonia.

Worst
