I agree, the criteria are highly questionable. I can understand that low crime rates are important for everyone, but for the most part the quality of life is determined by what you want to do in a particular place. Is Vienna a great place if you want to work for a Hedge fund, if you are a jazz musician, an opera singer, a tech startup founder, a chef, an industrial electrician who fixes oil rigs, a UN diplomat? They don't ask these questions at all. I can tell you what this ranking is about. It's a completely pointless PR gimmick by an HR consultancy.
