\n\nFinland Tops Happiest Countries List for the Seventh Time<\/a>
\nFor the seventh year running, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world by the United Nations\u2019 World Happiness Report. The Nordic nation has long been known for its sauna culture, but the Finns\u2019 enduring well-being goes beyond warm rooms and cold plunges. Some Finns have told the press that their citizens aren\u2019t exactly happy so much as content with what they have, and that work-life balance and state-funded education, childcare, and health care are crucial to the population\u2019s overall positive frame of mind.
\n\nCNN \u2014 The World Happiness Report is out, and once again Nordic countries are humming along with the highest scores. The No. 1 country, Finland, has held onto its top ranking for seven years straight.<\/a>
\nThe report draws on global survey data from people in more than 140 countries. Countries are ranked on happiness based on their average life evaluations over the three preceding years, in this case 2021 to 2023. The report is a partnership of Gallup, the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and an editorial board.
\n\n\u201cAnd you find out Finland\u2019s pretty rich in all of those things, like wallets being returned if they\u2019re dropped in the street, people helping each other day in and day out, very high quality and universally distributed health and education opportunities \u2014 so everyone more or less comes out of the starting gate the same,\u201d he said. He also noted that Finland has happy immigrants, \u201cso it\u2019s something that they\u2019re prepared to share with newcomers.\u201d
\n\nThe report looks at six key variables to help explain life evaluations: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and perceptions of corruption. Finland\u2019s Nordic neighbors also earned reliably high scores with Denmark (No. 2), Iceland (No. 3) and Sweden (No. 4) in the top five, and Norway (No. 7) comfortably ranking in the top 10.
