According to the CEOWORLD magazine for 2020, The United Kingdom has been named as the best country in the world for starting a career, a Germany earned the No. 2 spots, followed by Canada in the third and the United States in fourth. Japan is next on the list.

The world’s best countries in which to start a career in 2020

The 2020 rankings placed Japan in fifth ahead of France into 6th; while the Netherlands ranked 7th, and South Korea eighth. The ranking looked at how nearly 186,000 graduates (defined as adults less than 35 years old) scored countries on 19 criteria: job market, economic stability, entrepreneurial atmosphere, income equality, innovation, progressiveness, and whether they wanted to live there. Which are the best countries for starting a career? How does the United States compare to the rest of the world?

The slump in demand will have a deep impact on income generation, and the job market will shift accordingly. Frankly, nobody is in a position to predict the future of the job market, but the trend indicates work culture will definitely change in favor of the remote working model. The shortage of disposable income will have its effect on the expansion of the job market in the short-term, but overall country-specific perception is unlikely to change in the short-term.

Overall, among the top 10 best countries in which to start a career in 2020, the ninth and tenth positions are held by Sweden and the United Arab Emirates. Noticeably, via non-stop efforts, Vietnam has been improving its international stature, with the latest ranking as the twenty-fifth-best country in the world to work.
