If you're born into a rich family in a first world country, your life will be whatever you make of it.
If you're born into a poor family, you'll be less screwed if you're born into a democratic, first world country as opposed to a third world country.
Your nationality matters, but let's face it, what matters even more is the amount of money you're born into. More money = more opportunity for less work. |
Yep, the world is against you, as you've informed us so many times. |

The list is not for migration purposes. It is how would a Singaporean child do in Singapore, not a foreigner in Singapore. [But in regards to Singapore, I think that's a good country.] |

And I have my yet unborn children in mind, first and foremost. |

| It also says South Korea was the tenth best place in the world to be born in 1988. That means the current generation of university students in Korea...ok, I guess they're pretty well off, if they can get jobs that is, good call Economist. |

That table was not to be taken too seriously. It was just a light hearted piece. Not sure why Korea was ranked 10.
America was number 1 lets remember...
That was hardy right either..
This new table they reckon should be taken more seriously but as mentioned, there has to be some bias and some countries aren't even on there.
But it might be interesting to look back later on and see which ones were correct or not!!
Impossible to predict too accurately really... |

Good looks. He seems to get it, though he focuses too much on Chinese and not enough on cosmopolitanism in general. My current plan is to globetrot for the next ten years then land in Singapore in my mid-thirties, though I might get tired of the globe trotting prior to that. |
