If you want to live well, move to Canada, a new “wellness index” says
A new analysis, the Global Wellness Index published by investment firm LetterOne, ranks Canada as the best country out of the 151 nations evaluated. The U.S. trails far behind, coming in at 37.
It's a big win for Canada: lots of major economies don't make the top 20 because of poor scores on metrics like blood pressure, obesity and depression in G20 countries https://bloom.bg/2UitQRf
And it's bad news for South Africa, which comes dead last in a composite ranking of the G20 plus the 20 other countries with the largest populations. That's behind Iraq and Egypt. https://bloom.bg/2UitQRf
This ranking is the latest attempt to find new ways to measure the world apart from just using GDP.
But there's no real consensus yet on how to do it. Just last month a Bloomberg survey ranked Spain as the healthiest country in the world https://bloom.bg/2TkDhCJ
