Est-il moins cher de vivre dans la AMÉRICANO. ou au Canada? And which country offers a better quality of life?

Une récente Investopia post, Etats-Unis. Ou au Canada: Quel pays est préférable d'appeler d'accueil?, considered a variety of factors, including average salaries, coût de la nourriture et d'autres articles de la vie quotidienne, soins de santé, post-secondary education, et le congé parental.

While the analysis was perhaps oversimplified, the conclusions were:

Average salaries are similar dans les deux pays.

General cost of living is somewhat higher in Canada. Le coût des aliments, in particular, sont plus élevés au Canada.

Cost of post-secondary education is much lower in Canada.

Coût des soins de santé est beaucoup plus élevé dans le AMÉRICANO., and health insurance is not universally available.

Canada has much more generous social services, including its parental leave policy.

The summary? À long terme, families will fare better in Canada, because of the lower health and education costs and more liberal social policies.

Que pensez-vous? Are there other important factors to consider in assessing cost and quality of life?

If you’ve moved between the U.S. et le Canada, s'il vous plaît laissez un commentaire et partagez votre expérience.
