Employee ‘Aspirational’ Factors


Beyond university and working life, overall quality of life has become more relevant and important to many, especially those of the millennial plus generations. In order to account for this increasingly important factor we have embedded a quality of life score into the analysis. This provides an objective summary of a range of ‘quality of life factors’ including crime and safety, access to health care, climate, traffic commute & pollution. It also provides an analysis of cost of living factors, property prices to income ratios and the ability to save in each city, based on household consumption vs income levels.


Overall, we see a different picture entirely, with the top ten dominated by Germanic and Dutch markets – led by Munich. The Iberian capitals of Madrid and Lisbon also feature, as do some of the Nordic markets further down the top 20. Three French cities also feature, whereas Edinburgh is the only UK representative.
