World Happiness Report 2022

Finland remains the world's happiest country for the seventh year in a row, according to the annual UN-sponsored World Happiness Report. Nordic countries like Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden also rank high. Afghanistan, facing a humanitarian crisis, remains at the bottom. The US and Germany are no longer in the top 20 happiest nations. Costa Rica and Kuwait have entered the top 20 for the first time. Happiness rankings are based on life satisfaction, GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption.
