"Where should we move?"

Imagine that a friend is planning to marry and his/her intended is from another country __________ [fill in one of the following countries: Sweden, Republic of Korea, Israel, Ireland, Japan or Australia]. The couple needs to decide whether to remain the US or to move to this country. Compare GDP/capita for each country as well as the United Nation Human Development Indicator at http://hdr.undp.org/statistics/data/


Based on this information prepare a list of reasons:
a)Why should the couple remain in the US?
b)Why should the couple move to the other country?
c)What are the problems with using GDP/capita in their decision?
d)What are the problems with using the UN Human Development Indicator in their decision?
