Lifestyle factors such as the cost of living vary worldwide.

One job of international human resource managers is to develop appropriate compensation packages for managers working abroad. The U.S. Department of State provides information firms can use to calculate compensation around the world. Prepare a report on the factors relevant to developing a compensation package for expatriates working in Prague and Tokyo, including Living Costs Abroad, by accessing the State Department through globalEDGE™ (keywords Travel/Living Abroad) or directly at aoprals.state.gov.
