The Nordic nations continued to rank among the ten happiest, with Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden lagging behind Finland.
The United States and Germany, which came in 23rd and 24th place, respectively, were not among the top 20 happiest countries for the first time since the report’s publication more than ten years ago.
Kuwait and Costa Rica, meanwhile, stormed into the top 20 at positions 12 and 13.
“The Netherlands and Australia are the only two nations in the top 10 with populations of more than 15 million. Only the UK and Canada have populations of more than 30 million out of the top 20.”
The happiness ranking is based on individuals’ self-assessed evaluations of life satisfaction, as well as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and corruption.
