É mais barato viver no U.S. ou Canadá? And which country offers a better quality of life?

Um recente Investopia postar, EUA. Ou Canadá: Que País é melhor para chamar de lar?, considered a variety of factors, including average salaries, custo dos alimentos e de outros itens da vida cotidiana, cuidados de saúde, post-secondary education, e licença parental.

While the analysis was perhaps oversimplified, the conclusions were:

Average salaries are similar nos dois países.

General cost of living is somewhat higher in Canada. Os custos dos alimentos, in particular, são mais elevados no Canadá.

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

Custo dos cuidados de saúde é muito maior no U.S., and health insurance is not universally available.

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

The summary? A longo prazo, families will fare better in Canada, because of the lower health and education costs and more liberal social policies.

O que você acha? Are there other important factors to consider in assessing cost and quality of life?

If you’ve moved between the U.S. Canadá e, por favor deixe um comentário e compartilhar sua experiência.
