Which countries would you say beat Sweden in these areas?
As this argument appears in Canada as well when it is top ranked in livability and people point to Sweden as the country trouncing us.
People think we don’t have a stable government and that our healthcare system is uniquely bad and that Canada is abnormally expensive.
One piece of evidence in favour of Sweden’s relative affordability (at least from Canada’s perspective) is that young people haven’t stopped moving out on their own [0].

- bedobi 3y agoJapan and Australia have vastly better healthcare (esp the public healthcare), safety, political stability, housing markets and climate. Australia also has better purchasing power, Japan about the same as Sweden. (=poor) Both fare worse in higher education, gender equality, generous parental leave systems. I'd imagine Canada is similar to Australia, beating Sweden overall. But it depends on what you value.
