Methodology
We researched the top ten countries with the highest UK citizen
immigration rate, and compared this with our survey of 1000 UK
adults. As only 4.5% of participants expressed a desire to
immigrate to a location outside of the countries used in this
list, we excluded any further countries in our comparison.
We used a number of authoritative websites, including
nation-appropriate statistics offices, in order to produce a
database of salaries and job benefits across a range of different
positions. Data was cross-referenced where multiple data sets were
available.
All salaries were listen before tax. All salaries were sourced at
a yearly figure and available in Euros. They were then converted
into other currencies using the conversion figures below.
Where 1 EUR (€):
GBP (£) = £0.88
USD ($) = $1.11
The cost of living was modified to use London as a base of 100.
Each of the metrics (salary, disposable income, working hours and
holiday days) was given a score that showed how it compared to
data from other countries or careers.
These scores were then combined into a weighted index, showing
each job and location’s score out of 10, allowing them to be
ranked from best to worst.
