Sharing the 21st spot on our list, Israel is a remarkable story. Despite a poor employment situation in recent years, Israel has rebounded and has enjoyed a stable economy in the face of turmoil in the Middle East. Health has been the highest factor that contributes to its citizens’ quality of life, with income, wealth and subjective well-being coming in next. This is an amazing feat, considering that the country has a very limited amount of natural resources.
