The World Happiness Report reveals that Finland and its Scandinavian neighbors—Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway—are ranked as the happiest countries globally. Factors contributing to their happiness include democratic societies, generous social safety nets, high per capita incomes, and low wealth inequality. However, researchers criticize the WHR's methodology for relying on a single subjective question about life satisfaction, proposing instead that happiness may be more complex and influenced by multiple dimensions, as explored in the Global Flourishing Study, which offers a different ranking of happiness based on diverse factors.
The World Happiness Report ranks Finland and Scandinavian nations as the happiest, with their success attributed to open democracies, social safety nets, and equitable wealth distribution.
While the World Happiness Report suggests a consistent ranking, the Global Flourishing Study presents a different perspective by incorporating more diverse happiness factors, challenging the singular ladder ranking.
