Singapore has been ranked as the most liveable city for expatriates in the world for 16th consecutive year, according to an index published by human resource consultancy ECA International Friday.
“Good air quality, solid infrastructure, decent medical facilities, low crime and health risks have contributed to Singapore maintaining its position at the top of the global ranking for quality of living for Asian assignees,” said Lee Quane, Regional Director in Asia, ECA International.
Singapore is followed by Sydney and Adelaide in the ranking for Asian assignees.
Updated annually, ECA’s location ratings system evaluates a host of factors to form an assessment of the overall quality of living in over 450 locations worldwide. Factors assessed include climate; availability of health services; housing and utilities; isolation; access to a social network and leisure facilities; infrastructure; personal safety; political tensions and air quality.
