The best place to migrate to ...

[neddy]

After reading all the posts, problem with jobs, racism, white people dominance ... I think the best place to migrate to is this planet.

First, there is no PAP, you do not need a job, no other race of people around, no climate change problem and most important, no white people.

People in WA country are happiest in the land
January 28, 2009 03:00pm
FRUSTRATED city dwellers longing for a quieter life are right to look with envy at all those sea and tree-changers.

A new study shows that living in the country towns, where everyone knows everyone, is a happier existence than the hustle and bustle of city life.

Australians who live in regional areas with fewer than 40,000 people have a higher sense of personal wellbeing than those living in cities, the study shows.

The Australian Unity Wellbeing Index measures people's overall feeling of wellbeing through satisfaction with factors including health, relationships, safety, standard of living and community connection.

NSW rates lowest on the scale of all the Australian states and territories, while Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria are the highest.

But there was a downside to the findings. The research showed that once the proportion of people in an area not born in Australia exceeded 40 percent, wellbeing started to fall.

Deakin University Professor Bob Cummins, the author of the index, said wellbeing was related to a sense of community.

"Anybody who's lived in a small country town knows ... that everybody says hello to everybody else,'' he said.

"You become very quickly connected to those communities.''

But he says areas with a high number of new Australians have lower levels of social connection.

"This acts then to reduce the wellbeing of people in those areas,'' he says.

"What this signals to government is that more resources are clearly required, not in terms of financial support ... but in terms of social interventions, about bringing people of different cultures together.''

He says policymakers need to direct more resources to these areas.

The normal range in Australia for wellbeing, according to the index, is between 73.4 and 76.4, on a scale of 0 to 100.

Greater Dandenong has a wellbeing rating of 71.5 while Campbelltown is lower, at 70.8.
Glenelg, a region in south-west Victoria which includes the town of Portland, has the highest rating of 80.74.

The latest index brought together the results of wellbeing surveys of about 35,000 people across Australia, between 2001 and 2008.

BBC radio World Briefings

On the world wide layoffs, someone, an expert on employment was asked to name the worst place in the world to be given the pink slip, a term referring to lay off notice. Not surprisingly, his answer was Singapore. He was in Singapore about 2 months ago, and gave an example. The casino which was under construction suddenly came to a standstill because the company went bust, and 3,000 people suddenly lost their jobs. Since jobs are directly connected to a particular employer, they were immediately packed up and sent home. Today you have a job, and tomorrow you are repatriated. As simple as that.

Not to say that in the US, jobs are not related to particular employers. But at least here, the police do not pick you up the very next day and put you on a flight to your country. And what is worse in Singapore is this. If that worker is unable to return immediately and delays leaving, if he finally wants to leave the country, he is arrested at the airport, handed over to the police and imprisoned. If that is not enough, the poor man will be caned, or rather tortured as well. A totally inhuman way to treat human beings, to say the least!

The man was asked which country is the best for layoffs, his answer being Denmark. There people are helped in finding alternative employment, or retrained and somehow helped to remain in the country. That you see, is a civilized first world country, not Singapore.

In the first place, Singapore is like a $30 whore in Keong Siak, cunt open for all ~ dark, pale, educated, not educated to screw. ~ Cheap labour

Denmark is like a exclusive high-class escort, the cunt open for a few good ones who have to learn to speak the language first. ~ of course Denmark will want these people to stay and contribute.

When I was in the UK, a Dannish colleague of mine was telling me that he intended to explore the possibility of working in Asia but he'd never work in Denmark because the tax that he had to pay there would be ridiculous, guess the Dannish government is more like a Robin Hood, taking from the high income earners to support useless jerks.

Denmark: High Taxes, High Gas Prices, Happiness & “Hygge”
By Brian Sullivan

BusinessWeek just released its “World’s Happiest Countries” list. If the list is to be believed, high taxes and high gas prices have little to do with overall happiness.

Eight of the 10 countries on the list are European and high-tax nations. BusinessWeek’s “happiest” country this year is Denmark. This despite the highest income tax rate in the developed world, nearly $10 per gallon gasoline and generally horrible weather.

We Americans are angry over the prospect of any tax increase and the current price of gas. So why are the Danes so happy?

The article notes something the Danes call ‘hygge,’ which basically means a strong family bond. I can’t speak to “hooga” (as its pronounced apparently), but I can speak to bikes. Having been to Denmark I noticed hat nearly everyone, at least in Copenhagen, tends to bicycle. There were cars, but they were far outnumbered by bikes. There was also a bike system where anyone could put in a $2 coin and rent a bike, which could be returned to any bike rack in the city whereupon you would take the $2 coin that was left by the person previously at the rack. The point is not even that they biked; its that they lived close enough to work to use a bike as their commuting vehicle. Thus they probably don’t care that much about the price of gas. Studies have shown that the longer your commute is, the less happier you tend to be. Maybe one positive about the energy situation is that Americans will begin move back closer to the cities. It’s already happening in places like New York and Chicago. Overly wealthy Hollywooders are even “downsizing” (loosely defined) and moving into condos in downtown Los Angeles. I venture to guess that the flight to the exburbs has seen its peak. Maybe a smaller house and a shorter commute is a positive thing.

So maybe that explains the gas thing. As for Denmark’s high happiness level with the taxes and the weather, I’ll leave that to others to figure out. Maybe its the “hooga.” Maybe its the people. Maybe it has something to do with the beer.

FT working in Asia get away from paying these "high" taxes. They are damn lucky got places like Spore which worships them.

When they get older they will return to their homeland & enjoy what the state provides to every citizens. Never mind that others have paid taxes to provide these benefits

i wonder if you really read and analysis news thoroughly, and think through it before posting this stupid article....if the company went bust, what u expect the boss to do? Pay them full month salary and say thank you for help??of course the 3000 pp will have to go....Is enron any better? is lehman brother any better? is Madoff any better?

Noticed the jump in the numbers of Singaporeans arriving in Australia in recent years.
Too bad, I am unable to get figures of Singaporeans who did not make it in Australia and left.
