That survey is just a huge pile of BS.
Education in Finland is NOT good. We learn basic (read: basic) math and reading and writing. That's it. If they realise you're good at, say, math at an early age they will not encourage you in any way to be better than others. On the contrary, in the name of equality you're not allowed to learn too much since that would make you 'elite' which is taboo in communistic Finland.

Economy is good... if you're not working, that is. A considerable number of the working people tend to get money less than non-working finns. That is because of our taxation system.

Healthcare I agree is better than in many other countries.

Political enviroment? Pfff... Most of the so called 'anti-communist/socialist' parties are banned, the communist parties are not. Yes, that is the equality in our rich political enviroment.

And quality of life... What a joke. We have huge waves of suicides, school shootings, rapings and murders. That should say enough of that.

Just a note; That magazine was such a marginal, left leaning rag that it has stopped publishing and is now internet only.
