Those who are part of Generation Y (also known as millennials) are people born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s. And these millennials want it all. And honestly, can we blame them? A fulfilling professional life that doesn't take up all their time, exciting evenings, cool restaurants, a cost of living that doesn't require selling their left kidney, and above all, an environment that respects their values. The latest report from Compare the Market AU has understood this well, presenting the ultimate ranking of cities where it's great to work and live if you were born between two Britney Spears hits.
Surprise or confirmation, Lyon flexes its muscles and ranks 8th in the world, just behind Zurich and Milan, but ahead of some very bankable metropolises like Berlin and Barcelona. The Lyonnaise recipe? A well-balanced cocktail of nightlife.
animee, jaw-dropping bars, mouth-watering restaurants, good financial accessibility (even though rents are climbing, we're not in Paris either), and this vibe that blends urban excitement with provincial chill.Europe Dominates the Global Rankings
The ranking, based on 16 criteria ranging from inclusivity to access to services and the quality of leisure activities, crowns Amsterdam (makes sense), Stockholm (of course), and Prague (surprise!) on the podium. Toronto saves the honor of non-European cities with a well-deserved 10th place, scoring perfectly on equality and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
In short, if you dream of building a career without sacrificing your mental health, brunching on Sundays after techno at Sucre, or finding a job without having to sell your soul (or your scooter), Lyon checks all the boxes. And if you're already here? You made a great choice staying.
