World

In NEWSWEEK’s first-ever Best Countries
special issue, we set out to answer a question
that is at once simple and incredibly complex—
if you were born today, which country would
provide you the very best opportunity to live a
healthy, safe, reasonably prosperous, and
upwardly mobile life? Many organizations
measure various aspects of national
competitiveness. But none attempt to put them
all together.

prosperous
→栄える、繁栄する

upwardly mobile
→社会的・金銭的に上向きの、将来性豊かな

competitiveness
→競争力のあること

For this special survey, then, NEWSWEEK
chose five categories of national well-being -education, health, quality of life, economic
competitiveness, and political environment - and compiled metrics within these categories
across 100 nations. A weighted formula yielded
an overall list of the world’s top 100 countries
(for a look at the exact data points we used and
how we weighted them, as well as how each
country did across the various categories,
check out newsweek.com).
