Finland has maintained its position as the world’s happiest country for the seventh consecutive year, leading the list in the latest World Happiness Report. Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden also secured spots among the top 10 happiest nations. Meanwhile, Afghanistan remained at the bottom of the list due to ongoing humanitarian crises. The United States and Germany, though not in the top 20, ranked 23rd and 24th, respectively. Costa Rica and Kuwait made significant strides, breaking into the top 20, ranking 12th and 13th. Notably, the report observed that none of the world’s largest countries were among the happiest nations, with only the Netherlands and Australia having populations exceeding 15 million in the top 10. Moreover, the report highlighted significant shifts in happiness levels since 2006-10, with Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Jordan experiencing declines, while Eastern European nations such as Serbia, Bulgaria, and Latvia reported increases. The rankings are based on individuals’ self-assessed life satisfaction and various factors including GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption levels.
