Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This is the world's happiest country in 2019
People in which country feel happier than
others? First published in 2012, The World Happiness Report is a survey of the
state of world happiness that ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens think
and feel on six key variables: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy,
social support and generosity. This year, the survey focused on happiness and
community: how happiness has been felt over the last 12 years, how much
influence has been made by information technology, governance, and social norms.
Eight of the top ten countries are in Europe;
Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and Austria.
One thing common among these European countries is high tax and good social
welfare, which suggests trust to the government. The report also found that the
people in these countries are generous and care about each other.
While Canada, New Zealand, and Australia are
also among other happiest countries, many Asian and African countries are found
at the bottom of the ranking.
Enjoy reading and think about what makes people feel
happier.
