Methodology
WiFi feeds our composite Lucky Nomads World Index as part of the infrastructure picture for remote work. Inputs include published broadband speed datasets, mobile coverage indicators, fiber penetration, and the density of coworking spaces and remote-friendly cafés in the country's main hubs. Scores are normalised to 1 to 10 per jurisdiction. The map uses the same absolute paliers as country profiles and ranking pages.
