For this post I am going to be considering sections of the paper '
Who is Happy?' by Myers and Diener. Download the paper
from here.Nations differ strikingly in happiness...
According
to the BBC, Denmark is the happiest nation.
But why?
Important factors:- Wealth
- Natural beauty
- Small size
- Quality education
- Good health care.
The World Values Survey, which has compiled data from 350,000 people in 97 countries since 1981, found Denmark to be home to the planet's most contented citizens (again) with Zimbabwe as the most miserable (again). Classic Scandinavian front-runners like Sweden and Finland were nudged out of the top 10 by Puerto Rico and Colombia. El Salvador placed a surprising 11th, beating out Malta and Luxembourg. Further down the list came the U.S., ranked in 16th place.
