a list of the best cities<\/a> in the world for Gen Z to move to.<\/p>\n\u201cYour 20s are a genuinely great time to take a leap. Whether you\u2019re eyeing a fresh start after university or college, chasing a job opportunity abroad, or just ready to live somewhere different. Moving to a new city (or a new country entirely) can be one of the best decisions you\u2019ll ever make,\u201d Remitly says.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remitly says it analyzed 250 cities \u201cacross nine key factors\u201d that are important to Gen Z, including rent and job prospects, to figure out which cities \u201cgenuinely deliver for this generation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other factors Remitly considered include:<\/p>\n
Safety index
\nLGBTQ+ equality
\nBroadband speed
\nNightlife affordability
\nQuality of life index
\nAverage monthly net salary
\nShare of population aged 20-29<\/p>\n
Victoria ranked 49th, with a total score of 63.46 out of 100, while Vancouver ranked 43rd, with a score of 64.26. For context, top-ranked cities Copenhagen in Denmark and Bern in Switzerland had scores of 76.67 and 74.01, respectively.<\/p>\n
Ottawa was the highest-ranked Canadian spot, with a score of 68.77.<\/p>\n
\u201cCanada\u2019s capital scored impressively on safety (68.4 \u2013 the highest out of any Canadian city analyzed), LGBTQ+ equality (79\/100, one of the highest in the study), and affordability of a night out \u2013 especially compared to Canadian cities like Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver,\u201d Remitly said of Ottawa.<\/p>\n
It added, \u201cAverage monthly salaries of around $5,500 CAD ($4,008) and a youth unemployment rate of 13.8% reflect a city with a stable economy that offers predictability even if it lacks the startup energy of Vancouver or Toronto.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neither Vancouver nor Victoria ranked high enough for a blurb about the respective B.C. cities, as only the top 10 got a full Gen Z analysis from Remitly.<\/p>\n
Other Canadian cities that ranked higher include Calgary (21st), Halifax (22nd), Montreal (28th), Edmonton (35th), and Toronto (39th).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two B.C. cities have been named among the best in the whole world for people from Gen Z…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":["post-632805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
