The World Happiness 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.  It is the first to include separate rankings by age group, and it brings bad news about life satisfaction among young people in some parts of the world.

Finland is once again the world’s happiest country.
