It shouldn’t be surprising that rounding out the top ten happiest
countries in the world are (in order) Finland, the Netherlands, Canada,
New Zealand, Australia, and Sweden. Also unsurprising are the least
happy countries, with conflict-ridden Rwanda, Syria, Tanzania, Burundi,
and the Central African Republic composing the bottom five.
You don’t need to read the entire report to figure out why the highest ranked countries might be more satisfied than the rest. They’re proud welfare states that provide universal, high quality healthcare, free education, and paid maternity leave. In stark contrast to these values is the United States, which has dropped to 19th place among the world’s richest countries and 15th place overall.
