Finland is once again the happiest country

The report attributes the national happiness of countries to the absence of social support, income, health, freedom, generosity and corruption.

According to the report, most populations around the world continue to be remarkably resilient despite several crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global energy crisis, high inflation and the war in Ukraine.
