FAMILY FACTOR: The Expat Explorer survey of HSBC was conducted last February to April among respondents from the US, Europe and elsewhere who have lived in more than two dozen countries and on four continents.
They ranked their new homes based on 23 factors, including food, entertainment, health care, transportation and education. From these factors, HSBC picked eight for an integrated score that measures how easily foreigners and their families settle in a new country.
Suzanne Garber, COO of the Americas Region for International SOS, says that family life is the leading indicator of whether or not an expat assignment will be successful. Many foreign families feel unsettled and have trouble handling basic tasks like refilling prescriptions, driving around or dealing with the police.–Federico Pascual, Philippine Star
