Are you a smart worker looking for your paradise? You will find it at Melbourne, world queen city of smart working, which ranks first in the ranking drawn up by WorkMotion, a remote worker placement company, which used open source data to identify the most accessible and attractive cities in the world for remote workers. According to the study, the Australian metropolis stands out on a total of 80 cities which offer the best conditions to digital nomads thanks to a score that takes into account four factors: “Compliance with remote work”, “cost of living”, “civic infrastructure” and “liveability”, each divided by additional items.
How the score was calculated
The first topic that WorkMotion considered was the compliance, both for companies that hire remote workers, and for employees who wish to relocate. To do this, it was assessed how easy it is for companies to comply with labor laws in each city, the legal requirements for remote work, and whether each location offers a remote work visa.
The cost of living, to reflect that financial factors often influence a city’s attractiveness for relocation. For this, the study combined tax rates, the cost and availability of housing, and the cost of daily living. The civic infrastructure of each city was then considered. This involved assessing the levels of gender equality and political stability in each city. Furthermore, the quality of the public education system and citizens’ access to health care have been identified as contributing factors to the attractiveness of a city.
Finally, the study considered the livability analyzing the level of happiness that citizens have in each city as well as the cultural attractions offered and the mobility options. The result is an index that analyzes the ease of working remotely and the attractiveness of each location for remote workers.
