The most recent global survey about expat living, conducted by InterNations, has compared the satisfaction levels of men and women in the expat community. For both female and male expats, Ecuador is the number one destination. Apart from that, men’s and women’s preferences for moving destinations abroad differ a lot: Women are favouring a relocation to Thailand and to Oman while men prefer relocating to New Zealand and to Panama. Taking a closer look to the results referring to about 60 countries as moving destinations one can summarize that there do exist gender preferences: Thailand, Hong Kong and Arab countries are rated much higher by female expats, while men have given strong preference to countries in northern Europe and Latin America. Some of the findings from the Expat Insider 2015 survey are hat the general satisfaction with work and life in the Arab countries is considerably higher among female expatriates, although the region is host to more male expats than expat women. To pick out the United Arab Emirates, they are ranked 13th by women, but only on 28th position for men: one factor is that twice as many men find the cost of living not favourable (10 percent versus 5 percent of women).
