QUALITY OF LIVING CITY RANKING

MERCER’s Quality of Living Ranking just came out. This ranking and its underlying research assists multinational companies to compensate expat employees fairly.  Taking into account 39 factors affecting the quality of living, South America’s top 5 cities are Montevideo, Uruguay (77), Buenos Aires (91), Santiago, Chile (92), Brasilia, Brazil (108) and Asunción, Paraguay (115)

Some of the factors considered are climate, disease and sanitation standards, ease of communications, and physical remoteness. Local political and social environment, political violence, and crime are also taken into account , since they may lead  to potentially uncomfortable, inconvenient, or even dangerous situations for foreign employees.

The ranking is also looked at by foreign investors looking to invest in South America or buying a property in the region.
