If you were given an opportunity to choose the best country you would love to relocate to, live and work, which country would you choose?
Stats indicate that the abject poverty in the majority of the African nations as a result of massive corruption and poor leadership has forced many Africans, especially the youth to want to relocate to other countries.
The hope for a better life in other countries, especially in the Western world has seen millions of Africans from such countries as Libya trying to reach the United Kingdom, the United States of America among other countries.
The majority of those who have tried to access the Western world illegally through the sea have ended up dying, some as slaves and some just lost at sea.
What are some of the best countries that are friendly and accommodative for people to live and work? Well, according to HSBC, there are 20 such countries:
- Switzerland
- Singapore
- Canada
- Spain
- Australia
- Turkey
- Germany
- United Arab Emirates
- Ireland
- Malaysia
- France
- India
- Sweden
- Mexico
- United States of America
- China
- Saudi Arabia
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Brazil
Of the top 20 countries that are deemed best for one to work and live, you will realize that there is no single African country. South Africa would have featured on the list was it not for her frequent xenophobic attacks on foreigners as well as the high levels of unemployment among the youth.
Having the United States of America and Mexico might raise eyebrows among many people. According to many, the United States of America is unfriendly to migrants from other countries especially with President Donald Trump in power.
