  • The Philippines Ranked as One of the Best Countries for Expat Families
  • Raising a family in a foreign land can be daunting, but for expats living in the Philippines, it looks like they are just in the right place – a country that in fact fosters it. A recent survey done by an international organization ranks the Philippines, a country with a culture known to be nurturing and family-centred as one of the best countries to raise a family for expatriates.

    Conducted by Internations.org, a global network of expats that aims to provide a solid community for those living abroad, the Family Life Index 2015 shows the Philippines at the 14th spot among 41 countries.

    Countries are ranked according to how well they do in these subcategories: availability of childcare and education, costs of childcare and education, quality of education, family well-being, as well as childcare and education options. This year, a question regarding available leisure activities for kids was included in the Family Well-Being subcategory.

    Each of the 41 countries had 30 survey respondents raising kids abroad who rated the above factors on a scale of one to seven.

    Austria tops the list with Finland and Sweden coming next.

    Here’s the top 20 list:

    1. Austria 11. Denmark
    2. Finland 12. Spain
    3. Sweden 13. Poland
    4. Israel 14. The Philippines
    5. New Zealand 15. Mexico
    6. Singapore 16. Canada
    7. Germany 17. Norway
    8. France 18. South Africa
    9. Australia 19. Bahrain
