Lucky Days Survey
The study, conducted by online gaming site Lucky Days, evaluated eight key aspects of quality of life, giving each a score out of ten to determine which province offers the best quality of life and, therefore, the greatest happiness for its residents.
The data used for this analysis came from various sources, including the National Statistics Office, Statistics Canada and the Government of Canada, and covered the following areas:
Ranked at the top, Quebec posts an impressive overall score of 8.63 out of 10. The province particularly excelled by obtaining a perfect score of 10 for the “Life Satisfaction” indicator.
Additionally, Quebec wins in several other areas, notably regarding employment opportunities, where it also obtained a perfect score of 10 for “Unemployment Risk”. In fact, Quebec has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, standing at just 4.5%.
Furthermore, the province stands out in all aspects related to health, with perfect scores for “life expectancy”, “perceived health” and “perceived mental health”. In addition to an average life expectancy of 82.6 years, Quebec has the highest percentage of respondents rating their general health and mental health as “excellent” or “good.”
