womens marchLeanna Garfield/Business Insider

  • New World Wealth consultancy has carried out an analysis on the safest countries in the world for women. 
  • They claim there is a correlation of 92% between historic wealth growth and the safety levels of women.
  • Australia ranked as the safest country in the world for women. 
  • It was followed by Malta and Iceland, but the UK didn't make the top 10.


Australia is the world's safest country for a woman, according to analysis by consultancy New World Wealth in its 2018 Global Wealth Migration Review.

The report mainly looks at the movement of high net worth individuals (HNWI) across the world.

However, part of that analysis involves reviewing the safest countries for women.

"Woman safety is one of the best ways to gauge a country's long term wealth growth potential, with a correlation of 92% between historic wealth growth and woman safety levels," the report says.

"This means that wealth growth is boosted by strong levels of woman safety in a country."

Australia is among the best performing wealth markets in the world. Over ten years, wealth in Australia has grown by 83%.

The 10 safest countries for women in 2017 were:

  1. Australia
  2. Malta
  3. Iceland
  4. New Zealand
  5. Canada
  6. Poland
  7. Monaco
  8. Israel 
  9. USA
  10. South Korea

The rankings are based on the percentage of each country's female population that has been a victim of a serious crimes over the past year.

"Most of the countries in our top 10 are also popular destinations for migrating HNWIs (high net worth individuals)," says the report. "Also, most of them have experienced strong wealth growth over the past 10-20 years."

The safest countries in each region were:

  • Europe: Malta, Poland, Monaco, Iceland.
  • Asia Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Japan, South Korea.
  • Middle East: Israel, UAE.
  • Africa: Mauritius, Botswana, Namibia.
  • Americas: USA, Canada.

"We expect emerging markets with good woman safety levels to be some of the world's top performers in terms of wealth growth over the next 10 years," says the report.

"For instance, countries such as Mauritius and Sri Lanka (which have good levels of woman safety) are both expected to perform very well (in terms of wealth growth) going forward."

Most of the countries in our top 10 are also popular destinations for migrating high net worth individuals.

The least safe countries in the world for woman in 2017 include Somalia, Sudan, Iraq and Syria.

Why China sees Myanmar's Rohingya crisis as an opportunity

Image
Thomson Reuters Myanmar's government has been embroiled in battle of rhetoric over its alleged ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, but unlike the west, China sees an opportunity amid the affair. For China, Myanmar's crisis is a gateway for it to pursue similar economic and infrastructure strategies it has undertaken in Africa in order to extend its geopolitical reach. Myanmar is part of a complex geopolitical maze in which China is but one player. As the Myanmar government's violent policy towards its Rohingya Muslims drew increasing international condemnation in 2016, the country's sometime icon of democracy, Aung San Suu Kyi,   declined to speak out   for the persecuted minority. And in her attempts to protect Myanmar from renewed isolation, she has continued to deepen its relationship with her most powerful authoritarian neighbour: China. It seems the common notion that newly democratic states have little time for autocratic partners is false. Before the W

At the Olympics, you might see North Korea’s figure skaters twirl to this beloved Beatles tune

After a New Year’s Day overture by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was met with a warm response from Winter Olympics host South Korea, Pyongyang is now sending nearly two dozen athletes to participate in the games next month. But only two won the right to participate on merit: figure skaters Ryom Tae-ok, 18, and Kim Ju-sik, 25. They qualified in September , but North Korea’s Olympic committee didn’t confirm their participation before a registration deadline passed. After talks with Olympics officials over how to allow North Korean athletes to participate, the two will be skating in Pyeongchang, the city hosting the Olympics starting Feb. 9. Ryom and Kim made a public appearance in Taiwan yesterday (Jan. 22), where they were practicing for the International Skating Union’s Four Continents championships. “Pair figure-skating became huge in North Korea ever since Kim Jong-un came into power. In North Korea, the sports the leader is interested in get a lot of attention and support,” i
