Vietnam ranks 11th among the world's most livable places.

The InterNations website has just released the results of its 2016 survey, showing that Vietnam ranks 11th on the list of top destinations for people living and working abroad.

The evaluation criteria include: quality of life, ability to settle down and integrate into society, work environment, family life, and personal finances.

Compared to last year, when it ranked only 35th out of 64 countries, Vietnam is considered to have achieved the biggest success, climbing 24 places this year.

Vietnam's quality of life is not highly rated, ranking 42nd, but in terms of the happiness level of its people, Vietnam ranks 8th.
