I’m looking for perspectives on which countries most effectively combine high quality of life with low social and economic inequality.

you have an aparthied on your list? lol i mean yes off course israelis themselves are happy to enjoy unchecked privileges and ethnic supremacy, while palestinians get ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Not to mention that Hungary, China, and Japan are pretty terrible to live in. Two are dictatorships and one’s also got a terribly racist society with a thatcherite.
Poland’s also shitty whenever there’s a far-right party in power (the national-conservatives).
Yeah, China has the Hukou bullshit. They deny kids of migrant parents from going to public school in the cities where the parents work, and cities are where you really find income, so since the kids follow the parent’s Hukou status, I was born in Guangzhou (a city), and I don’t get the city’s Hukou, I get my parent’s status from rural Taishan.

also for option 2, you’d need to be able to afford to rent (there are a lot of people hoarding apartments and then profit from this btw, you see a lot of “for rent” posters everywhete) or “buy” (70 year “permission to use” or something) an apartment big enough for your kids to even live with you comfortably, cuz housing isn’t free, you have your ancestral home in your village and that’s all you got, also you probably need someone to take care of the kids like after school hours, like the kids grandparents or someone like that. Also crowded, polluted, hard to find income.
As someone born in China, I always just find it funny that ignorant westerners somehow think China is some socialist paradise, it ain’t even socialist lmao.
