Not new, this report, but a National Geographic feature made this worth mentioning, I thought.
The World Happiness Report is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness. The World Happiness Report 2017, which ranks 155 countries by their happiness levels, will be released today at the United Nations at an event celebrating International Day of Happiness.
The report, the fifth one to come out since 2012, continues to gain global recognition as governments, organizations and civil society increasingly use happiness indicators to inform their policy-making decisions. In addition to the rankings, this year’s report includes an analysis of happiness in the workplace and a deeper look at China and Africa.
Scandinavian countries dominate for 2017 with Norway (#1), Denmark, Iceland (2 &3), Finland (#4) and Sweden (#10) crowding the Top 10, rounded out by the likes of Switzerland, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia.
The US came in at #14. Jamaica was #76, about midway the 155 nations surveyed.
