— I would like to live in another country. My wife is Danish and my grandfather moved to Canada, explains Finance Minister Sigbjørn Johnsen.

With Aftenposten, he has just passed the “OECD Better Life Index” test. He must discover which country best corresponds to his conception of the good life.

The answer places three countries tied for the lead: Norway, Sweden and Australia. So there is not much to be gained from leaving Hedmark to settle in another country.

“My grandfather came back from Canada,” Johnsen says.

Canada comes in behind the trio at the top of Johnsen’s results list, so his family ties are clear. If the woman wants to move to her home country of Denmark, that will probably work too. Denmark comes in sixth place, according to Johnsen’s priorities.

– Many things are difficult to measure in crowns and øre. But friends and good neighbors remain very important in people’s lives, he says.

Find your country

The 2013 versions of the “Better Life Index” were published on Tuesday May 28 as part of the OECD week in Paris.

The index was also mentioned in Aftenposten on Tuesday.

Norway at the peak of happiness

In addition to finding out which countries perform best in statistics and surveys, it is possible to test yourself.

The test involves weighting 11 different indicators of quality of life, from 1 to 5. OECD methods will then weigh the answers together and determine which country best matches the individual’s priorities.

Anyone who emphasizes education and does not care about the rest will get first place in the country which, according to statistics, has the best education.

Norway high

Johnsen does not vary much on the 11 indicators and gives them all a weighting of 4 or 5. — Norway scores high in most areas. It’s not just about economic growth and gross national product. Things like trust, joie de vivre, good friends and good neighbors are important to people’s happiness. Politics is about what people feel at the local level, he says.

These countries are the best in terms of education, health, environment and work

Johnsen encourages people to try the test OECD website.— Citizens’ priorities give us an idea of ​​the policy to follow. “It gives us something to aim for,” he said.

Norway fields a top team during OECD week, led by Crown Prince Haakon and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
