Perhaps, it’s difficult to argue that it’s better to live in a rich country than in a poor one. As of 2024 year data, the basic indicator of the economic development - GDP by purchasing power parity per capita - was:

● In Comoros - 3,89 thousand dollars,

● In Qatar - 115,5 thousand dollars.

Thus, according to the gross production per one person, Qatar leaves Comoros behind by %.

To estimate the population law-abidingness and law enforcement activity, let’s pay attention to the statics of premeditated murders.

The life quality is greatly defined by how long the people live. According to the latest data, the life expectancy is:

According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), the spread of HIV-infections is:

● in Comoros - 200 of the infected (0.02% of population)

● in Qatar - 760 of the infected (0.03% of population)

The number of people infected by tuberculosis is:

● in Comoros - 300 people (35 per 100,000 people);

● in Qatar - 990 people (35 per 100,000 people)

The cancer situation is the following:

● in Comoros per 100 000 people yearly one finds 111.8 new cases of the disease and registers 79 lethal cases;

● in Qatar per 100k people every year one fixes 107.2 of newly infected people and 64.5 lethal cases from cancer.

We should not judge about the quality of medicine only by the number of cancer cases, we should look at the ratio between the number of new cases and the number of cancer deaths (the lower it is, the higher the rate of the cured ones is; consequently, the better the health care system works). In the countries under consideration, we see the following ratio between the newly-infected and the dead:

● in Comoros - ;

It’s considered that It’s more comfortable to live in that country where people are less exposed to bad habits. The following WHO data show that the situation with the alcohol consumption (pure alcohol) runs as this:

● in Qatar - 1.6 liters per every person older 15 years old (about 1.9 litres per every man and 0.4 litres per every woman)

How noticeable are the differences in alcoholic beverages of the Comorians and the Qatari?

● in Comoros, in terms of pure alcohol, beer accounts for 23.3% % of consumption, wine accounts for 22.2% of consumption, strong drinks (vodka and cognac, etc.) account for 54.6%;

● in Qatar beer accounts for 1.2% from the total amount of alcohol consumption, wine accounts for 13.9%, strong drinks - 84.6%

Where do people have more reasons to be satisfied with their lives?     up↑

Perhaps, it’s very difficult to make up an indicator, with the help of which one can define how much the people of this or that country are satisfied by their lives. Nevertheless, there have been a couple of researches.

There is an overall index, is used by UNO - Human Development Index (HDI). This index considers various reasons why citizens feel comfortable. According to 2022 data, HDI in Comoros is 0.558; in Qatar - 0.855.

***

To indirectly evaluate how much the people are satisfied with their lives, one can consider the number of suicides. It comes logically that the better the lives of the people are arranged, the fewer reasons for the suicides there are. In the countries under consideration, per 100 000 people there are:

● in Comoros - 8,5 suicides (11,3 among men and 5,8 among women) ;

● in Qatar - 4,7 suicides (5,7 among men and 1,7 among women)
