The Expat Life: HSBC Expat Explorer Survey

Each year, the HSBC Expat Explorer survey brings a wealth of information on expat lifestyle, happiness and challenges.

There are three reports available on the 2008 survey:
- Expat Existence focuses on the top rated places to live, based mostly on living standards;
- Offshore Offsprings (now that’s a catchy title for a report!) takes a look at the challenges facing families raising children abroad
- Expat Experience deals with relocation and the challenges that come with it.

I have downloaded all three reports to study. I will take a more detailed look at each of them and post my comments here. As a former market research specialist, I would have loved to have access to the actual results (i.e. the detailed breakdown of responses to each question), but it looks like only the final reports are available.

If you would like to take the 2009 Expat Explorer Survey, please go to www.offshore.hsbc.com/expatsurvey – it will take you 10 to 15 minutes to complete. An interesting feature of this year’s survey is that it includes several questions about savings and the financial crisis. A sign of the times for sure!
