Top 10 safest countries in the world.
10 Safest countries around the world
Safety is one of the top priorities for nations worldwide, be it in better protecting its citizens on the streets, guarding them against wrongdoing or even safeguarding them against online crime.
Safety has taken on special meaning in the age of the global coronavirus pandemic. Only a handful of countries have no reported COVID-19 cases, according to the World Health Organization.
European countries dominate this category in the 2021 Best Countries report. Scandinavian countries, as well as Switzerland, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands perform better in this category, as people around the worlld associate them with a high level of safety.
Being seen as safe is one of nine equally weighted attributes used to develop the Quality of Life sub-ranking in the 2021 Best Countries report. The survey is based on a study that surveyed more than 17,000 global citizens from four regions to assess perceptions of 78 countries on 79 different metrics. The survey did not define safety, leaving it open to interpretation among respondents.
The following are top 10 countries viewed as the safest.
