    Default European Quality of life Index survey: UK and Ireland worst places in Europe to live

    UK ENJOYS HIGHEST NET INCOME IN EUROPE, BUT QUALITY OF LIFE IS POOREST


    The UK and Ireland are the worst places in Europe to live, according to the latest uSwitch.com Quality of Life Index[1]. While the UK enjoys the highest net household income in Europe, quality of life is the poorest, proving that there is more to good living than money. Long working hours, lower holiday entitlement and a high cost of living all contribute to a poor quality of life in the UK – and it’s not much better for the Irish either:

    • Best quality of life can be found in France and Spain. The worst can be found in the UK and Ireland[1]

    • Depressing: UK workers can expect to work 3 years longer[2] and die 2 years younger than their French counterparts[3]

    • Cost of living: consumers in the UK are paying above the European average for fuel[4], food[5], alcohol[6] and cigarettes[7]

    • Health and education: the UK’s spend on healthcare[8] and education[9] is below the European average. Only Ireland and Poland spend less on healthcare, but Ireland has more doctors and hospital beds and Poland has more beds than the UK[10]

    • Longer life: Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden all enjoy longer life expectancy than the UK[3]

    • Retirement age in the UK has dropped, but it is still the 4th highest in Europe[2] UK enjoys highest net household income[11], but workers in the UK get lowest holiday entitlement in Europe[12].


    The latest uSwitch.com European Quality of life Index reveals that people in the UK are still getting a raw deal compared with their European neighbours. Despite the fact that the UK enjoys the highest net household income in Europe – £35,730 a year, which is more than £10,000 a year above the European average[11] – this does not translate into a good life.

    "Free, do you call yourself? Then I would hear your ruling thought, and not merely that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? Many a one has cast away his last worth when he has cast away his servitude. Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! But your fiery eyes should tell me: free for what?" - Thus Spoke Zarathustra
