Sweden Voted Top Destination for Women Expats

However, money is not the only consideration for expats. Switzerland may have topped the expat income charts, but ‘economics’, ‘experience’ and ‘family life’ were factored into the equation it was placed behind Singapore, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Australia, Bahrain and Sweden.

Sweden’s appearance on the list is no surprise. For expats in Sweden, wealth management options are just one of the country’s many draws; it is also one of the leading places in the world for gender equality and came in at first place in terms of the opportunities for family life.

The study revealed that, globally, women still face more professional and wealth management challenges than men. Although becoming an expat increases a woman’s income by nearly 30 per cent, the income of expat women was still lower than their male counterparts by around USD42,000. However, in Sweden, this expat wealth management gender disparity was not so marked.

For example, if you move to Spain but eat a ‘Full English’ breakfast every day, followed by fish and chips for lunch and roast beef with Yorkshire pudding for dinner, while all the while smoking 20 cigarettes a day and downing several pints of beer every evening, the Spanish climate and great healthcare is probably not going to help increase your lifespan by a particularly significant amount.
