Expats love Singapore for quality of life, but less so for work-life balance and the locals: survey

SINGAPORE (Sept 6): Global expatriates (expats) continue to wax lyrical over Singapore’s political stability and great transportation infrastructure, although the city state is not without its flaws.

According to the InterNations Expat Insider 2018 Survey, which surveyed over 18,000 expatriate respondents across 187 countries or territories, Singapore placed fifth out of 68 countries in the main league table this year, receiving its best rating for quality of life at fourth place.

Notably, it gained nine ranks for working abroad, moving up to 14th place in 2018 from No. 23 last year.
