The two charts present data on the reasons for migration and the most desirable countries to migrate to

in 2014. The pie chart outlines six different motivators for migrations while the bar chart presents the
ten most popular countries based on overall quality of life.

From the pie chart, it can be seen that the two main reasons people chose to move to another country
were either improved job opportunities (27 percent) or as the result of secure job offer (24 percent).
Family reasons were cited by 22 percent followed by education, which was a motivating factor for 15
percent of respondents. An improved lifestyle was cited by 9 percent of respondents and only 3 percent
migrated for a new adventure.

The bar graph shows that the Scandinavian and English – speaking countries were generally the highest
rating countries on the quality-of-life index. This was based on the OECD index which includes a number
of different factors, such as income, education and life satisfaction. Sweden and Australia were the joint
highest-ranking countries with an index half way between 7.9 and 8 followed by Canada, Norway and
USA who all had an index of around 7.9. the other five countries presented, which included Switzerland,
the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Iceland, all scored an index between 7.5 and 7.7

Overall, the two diagrams show that in 2014, financial benefit or stability were key motivators for
people moving to other countries tended to be the most popular destinations.
