Recent data indicates that around 5.4 million Americans reside abroad, reflecting a shift in migration trends influenced by the pandemic. Many now prioritize quality of life factors over GDP and safety when choosing their new homes. A Forbes survey predicts that 17% of Americans plan to move abroad in the coming years. While traditional metrics like GDP remain prevalent, experts emphasize the importance of considering aspects such as healthcare access, work-life balance, and community support to better gauge a country’s livability.
"GDP was not designed to assess welfare or the well-being of citizens. It’s a gauge of production, not personal happiness."
"We need to move beyond GDP to capture the aspects of our lives that are more important."
