These nations are the most hospitable to expatriates, according to a new report.
Methodology
The Expat Explorer survey was commissioned by HSBC Bank International and conducted by the research company FreshMinds. More than 3,100 expatriates were surveyed between February and April 2009.
The respondents were asked to rate 23 factors related to their quality of life, including food, entertainment, transportation, health care, finances, education and their ability to make friends.
Each criterion is equally weighted to arrive at a score. The overall ranking is based on the average score for a country across the criteria. Eight measures were also selected to comprise the integration score: organizing school for my children; organizing my finances; organizing my health care; finding somewhere to live; making friends; making local friends; setting up utilities; and joining local community groups.
The integration score was used to determine the friendliest countries.

Kwanini Tanzania haipo? Kwa sababu hatupendi wageni. Angalia wahindi tunavyowasema vibaya ingawa wamejikita kwa wingi kwenye sekta ya biashara. Ingekuwa watu wengine wangeshaondoka sema ni vinganganizi na hela ipo.

ReplyDeleteOne reason Tanzania is not included may simply be that it wasn't sampled which may apply to the absence of countries such as the State of Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - known homes to hundreds of thousands of expertriates. Another reason may be the nature of the survey - particularly the seven survey attributes which may explain why countries such as Japan and China don't feature. So let us not incriminate the United Republic of Tanzania simply by not featuring in an HSBC survey the objectives of which would typically have been banking business-specific. I would be worried if the survey had been commissioned by, say, ILO, UNDP, Tanzania's Ministry of Labour or, indeed, me and you.
