The 10 HAPPIEST & 5 Unhappiest Countries!

The United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network today released World Happiness Report 2018, which ranks 156 countries according to their relative levels of happiness. 

The results are based on Gallup World Poll data, in particular responses to the so-called main life evaluation question, where respondents self-assessed the quality of their own lives.

According to the report, these are the 10 happiest countries:

1. Finland

2. Norway

3. Denmark

4. Iceland

5. Switzerland

6. Netherlands

7. Canada

8. New Zealand

9. Sweden

10. Australia

And the bottom five:

1. Burundi

2. Central African Republic

3. South Sudan

4. Tanzania

5. Yemen

The U.S. ranked 18th of the 156 countries surveyed; it has lost ground in both the last two years.

While these are not the factors used to compile the rankings, the report cited six factors that combined to create a country’s overall happiness level: per-capita GDP, social support, life expectancy, freedom to make choices, generosity, and corruption levels.
