What's the best measurement for Quality of Life, for countries around the world?
 
 
 
Some I've come across are:
 
 
the Social Progress Index

the Happy Planet index

the Human Development index

the Satisfaction with Life index

 
the OECD Better Life index

the "Where to Be Born" index

 
the World Happiness report

I'm sure there are many others of high standing.

Which one is best?

Anyone?

I don't think there's really a definitive tool that can measure. #5 seems most accurate.

It depends on what people value, but probably overall I would say HDI.  For me personally, I like whatever country ranks highest on economic freedom index and personal freedom index if they have one.  Happiness index is a joke as its not something you can easily measure.

Out of those, the Social Progress Index seems like the most thorough and well thought out.

Er, Ireland / Nordics are top-tier but are all punished for having small numbers of globally-ranked universities. Yet these countries have small populations, so don't need 92 universities like the UK.
