I’m looking for perspectives on which countries most effectively combine high quality of life with low social and economic inequality.

    I don’t know from experience, and I haven’t researched it, but that kinda sounds like Canada.

    Maybe Germany.

        Canada was going to have the inequality anyway. The immigration is a scapegoat for the declining quality of life but many policy decisions outside of immigration were already impacting quality of life. The housing bubble and oligarchy/monopoly of major sectors (grocceries, telecommunications etc) are the main issues driving inequality in Canada.

        Canada could support its ambitious immigration goals if it were willing to invest in the country to support them, such as extensive public transit overhauls and nationalizing essential services like rail, communications, and energy.
