A country affectionately termed the ‘Land of Thousand Lakes’ has been named the world’s happiest country for the seventh year in a row. Finland is famous for its saunas, reindeer and folklore, as well as its high quality of life . Released each year on World Happiness Day, the World Happiness Report ranks more than 140 countries on how happy they are based on survey data from the Gallup World Poll.
The study analyses factors including life expectancy, confidence in government, average income and social support – and Finland consistently ranks highly in all of these areas. From free childcare to an emphasis on work-life balance, the Finnish state is built around policies of happiness. In fact, creating and maintaining an ‘infrastructure of happiness’ is integral to its society. Finland’s happiness is boosted by its public services. Only a fraction of the healthcare system is private, and public transport is both reliable and affordable. And when it comes to earnings, Finns are paid relatively well: average wages hit a peak of €47,527 per year in 2021, or around £40,588. Meanwhile, in second place was Denmark, closely followed by Iceland and Sweden. Fellow Nordic country Norway was in seventh place
