New Zealand remains in top 5 most socially advanced nations

Alright...this particular report is a bit of a mixed bag really because the headline says, "New Zealand is no longer world's most socially advanced nation" but a little later in the article the think-tank's director Michael Green states that "New Zealand still outperformed all other developed countries in its social progress relative to its economic performance."

New Zealand has dropped from first place when it was first included in the index last year to fifth place this year, behind Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Iceland.

One of the key positive highlights is New Zealand scored first or first-equal for personal rights and access to water and sanitation, third on access to basic education, and fifth in a category called "tolerance and inclusion" based on surveys of tolerance of immigrants, homosexuals, minorities and religions.

There are a lot of other interesting parameters and comparisons in the article. Have a read and draw your own conclusions. My personal opinion is that in the English speaking world (which is what most migrants seek) New Zealand continues to remain the world's most socially advanced nations. So think New Zealand and you can't go wrong.
