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.
