World Happiness Report 2015

[SRBIJA]

The World Happiness Report is a measure of happiness published by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Six key variables explain three-quarters of the variation in annual national average scores over time and among countries. These six factors include: real GDP per capita, healthy life expectancy, having someone to count on, perceived freedom to make life choices, freedom from corruption, and generosity.

you didn't highlight UK^

edit: nvm, you unhighlighted them all.

 

[Sim]

Bosnia is really low

 

[SRBIJA]

Won't highlight anyone #weareone #JoinUs


I shared the results here because it can be quite an interesting read. Eventhough happiness is a subjective thing and therefore cannot really be measured. Also, Serbia is surprisingly high on that list, to be honest.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Surprised the UK isn't somewhere in the 40's we're a very unhappy country.

 

[esc87fan]

Happy to live in one of the happiest countries in the world! ^_^

 

[Gera11]

Nice

 

[EurovisionSmile]

50. Italy (5.948)

So much gloominess in Italy.

 

[JamieBrown]

Surprising Top 10

 

[Carrie]

Delighted the is in the top 25.

 

[Leaf]

In the top 157

 

[Luki]

I don't see how those factors showcase human happiness.. but okay. :?

 

[dogmeat]

Why do such indexes never include average amount of snowfall per year among other factors?

 

[GRE]

Greece has made the biggest flop from all the countries in the world during the past 5 years.
Last time we were in 70th place.
Now 102...

 

[Yoni]

Why do such indexes never include average amount of snowfall per year among other factors?

Because snow is the devil's workshop.

Also yay at 11th.

 

[Rayman]

29th: not a bad place.
But happiness is such a subjective mood. Each individual has a goal different in his/her life and the personnality has a huge influence.

 

[vatroslav_cro]

62nd. Well I thought we are even lower....surprisingly we are not....
What stucked in my eye: they treat Northern Cyprus and Cyprus as two states? As far as I know, Cyprus (as one state) is internationally recognized.....

 

[AdelAdel]

I find it strange that all Scandinavian countries are in the top considering they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

 

[DannyDS]

Turkmenistan in the top 70 woopwoop!
