A survey of 12,500 expats around the world has ranked India as among the 10 worst countries to live and work in. The country also fails to get a thumbs-up from women expats: more than half (nearly 52%) said that they feel unwelcome here due to their gender . In this respect, it ranked among the bottom five along with Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Japan . India also performed poorly in the Working Abroad Index, with a rank of 49 among 65 countries. Nearly three in every 10 expats in India were unhappy with their work-life balance, probably due to long working hours, with expats on full-time jobs clocking in 47.7 hours per week, three hours more than the global average.Before moving to India, nearly 36% of respondents believed it would have a negative impact on their personal safety.
