Happiness by Country

It’s simple to calculate a country’s population, birth rate, average life expectancy, and other demographics. But how can you calculate a nation’s level of contentment?




The United Nations has come up with an answer to the problem of measuring the happiness of a whole country. The UN’s Sustainable Development Solutions Network compiled the World Happiness Report as part of its work on sustainable development.

UN-designated March 20, 2019, as the International Day of Happiness on March 20, 2019. The most current report was issued in June 2019. Each country is ranked based on data from 156 nations.

This study focuses on six factors that influence happiness. A variety of factors are taken into account in the study to determine which countries have the highest overall well-being and, as a result, the world’s happiest citizens.

According to the most recent research, Finland was the happiest nation in the world. It’s not simply those who were born in the country. Because of the manner of life in Finland, newcomers are among the happiest in the world.




Because of its generosity and faith in its leadership, Finland has been ranked as the best country to live in. According to the 2018 survey, Finland was also the happiest nation globally.

Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia all made the top ten list of the world’s happiest nations.

Even though these countries are at the top of the list, the UN research shows that other countries are doing far worse. Corruption, lack of personal freedom, and extreme poverty contribute to these countries’ mediocre standings.

South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Tanzania, Rwanda, Yemen, Malawi, Syria, Botswana, and Haiti are the least happy nations in the world, according to the 2019 World Happiness Report.
