Seoul has been ranked the 89th most desirable place to live in the world. Mercer Human Resource Consulting, an international consulting company, conducted a survey, measuring quality of life in more than 200 cities worldwide. The aim is to establish the best and worst cities for expatriates to live.
Zurich was the most desirable city in the world, followed by Geneva and Vancouver. Seoul ranked 89th, up one spot from last year's survey. Baghdad was the worst place to live for the third consecutive year.
The consulting company assesses each city based on an evaluation of 39 criteria. They include political, social, economic, and environmental factors, as well as health, education, and transport. Each city is ranked against New York as the mean with a score of 100.
Nearly half of the world's 30 most desirable cities for expatriates to live are in Western Europe. Seven of the top 10 cities were in Europe, including Frankfurt, Bern and Munich. Singapore ranked 34th, becoming the most desirable place to live in Asia, followed by Tokyo and Yokohama.
