The best countries for pensioners were indicated in the Everly Life report, which is based on seven key criteria: the costs of life, the quality of the healthcare system, the level of safety, air quality, the participation of the older population, the availability of the retirement visibility and infrastructure. Each of these factors had an equal impact on the final assessment, which allowed to create a comprehensive picture of the most -friendly places for seniors.
Estonia was recognized as the best place in the world to move after the end of her professional career – according to the report. Analysis covering up to 137 countries, and Norway and Portugal were also on the podium.
Everly Life experts recommend that when choosing a country to retire, pay special attention to living costs, quality of health care and political stability. Equally important are the availability of visas or residence permits, as well as the possibility of integration with the local community.
Estonia, which obtained a result of 79.41 points, overtook Norway and Portugal, offering a unique combination of high -quality medical services with moderate life costs. As the Travel and Leisure portal notes, Estonia's key advantage is also its advanced digital infrastructure, which significantly facilitates the adaptation of new residents.
