HELSINKI, 19 March, 2021 (TON): Finland ranked the world’s happiest country for the fourth consecutive year despite the pandemic crisis, the UN report said on Friday.
The media reported citing the researchers that Finland has always ranked very high on the measures of mutual trust that helped to protect the lives and livelihoods during the pandemic.
According to the World Happiness Report, “They have tended to favor making policy with overall well-being as the objective, and this makes suppressing community transmission an even more obvious choice for them.”
The report is based on three years of Gallup surveys of how happy citizens perceive themselves to be.
Factors used for the assessment include GDP per capita, healthy years of life expectancy, freedom, and perceived corruption in government and business.
Nevertheless, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Luxembourg, and New Zealand were also among the top 10. Besides, the U.S. ranked 20th, Russia 77th, China 85th, and India 140th.
