Finland wins 'happiest country in the world' title for the sixth time.
March 21, 2023, 11:20 AM UTCIt calls itself the “land of the midnight sun” because of its nightless days during the summer and perhaps the extra light has affected the mood in Finland, which has once again taken the crown for the “happiest country in the world.”beating Denmark in second, and third placed Iceland.
This year’s report — published three years after the coronavirus pandemic began — surveyed some 137 countries, and found that there was a global surge of “benevolence” in 2020, particularly in 2021. The measures of misery “fell slightly” during those years, the report said, adding that most populations around the world continued to be “remarkably resilient,” during the pandemic. Life satisfaction averages around the world were just as high between 2020 and last year as they were before that, it said.
