Britain and Ireland worst quality of life in Europe: study
Britain and Ireland have the highest average incomes in Europe but come
bottom in terms of quality of life, while Spain and France are at the top of
the index, according to a study published Wednesday.
Britons have to pay sky high prices for fuel, food and other essentials,
while having among the shortest holidays, latest retirement age and lowest
life expectancy, according to the survey of 10 European countries.
Ireland, which like Britain has seen a huge market-driven economic boom over
the last decade, is even worse than its bigger neighbour, coming in last in
the European Quality of Life Index by U-Switch, a British service comparison
website.
"We may earn substantially more than our European neighbours but when it
comes to quality of life we remain the sick man of Europe," said Ann
Robinson, director of consumer policy at
uSwitch.com.
