According to the ‘livability’ report of the Economist, each city is awarded a rating for relative comfort across 30 quantitative and qualitative factors. The five broad categories for the classification are infrastructure, education, environment and culture, healthcare and stability.  Each factor s rated as undesirable, intolerable, uncomfortable, tolerable or acceptable.

The report of the Economist is a ready-reckoner for employers to decide on the extra pay scale for their overseas skilled professionals. It is used to advise appropriate percentage that should be given to the employees apart from their pay. This is if the employee needs to shift to the city with lower rankings in the livability index, as quoted by the Interstaff.
