Not the person you asked but Ireland is good in a lot of respects but I think the job and housing market is pretty rough. The social security net is generally really good though. Another alternative that is similar that gets overlooked is Scotland.

Both countries are far from utopias however.

NZ is a good country especially if you want your kids to engage in postcolonialism because, as a western English-speaking country, it's hard for me to think of a country that has made as much progress with regards to indigenous rights as NZ. It's a vast distance from being good but it's much better than its neighbour, Australia, in this respect. NZ is a bit fucked with regards to its economy though.
