Popular Post webfact Posted March 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 FILE PHOTO for reference only Thailand has been ranked the 54th happiest country in the world, according to the World Happiness Report 2021. The report was released on Friday by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a global initiative launched by the United Nations in 2012. It uses data from the Gallup World Poll to measure the happiness level in 149 countries around the world, based on six main factors: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and level of corruption. Thailand ranked in 54th place overall, the same ranking as the previous year, was praised for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regionally, only Singapore (32) had a better ranking than Thailand, with the Land of Smiles head of the Philippines (61), Vietnam (79) Malaysia (81), Indonesia (82), Laos (100), Cambodia (114) and Myanmar (126). Finland has been ranked as the happiest country in the world for the fourth consecutive year. The Nordic nation is followed by Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Norway. People in war-torn Afghanistan are the most unhappy with their lives, followed by Zimbabwe (148), Rwanda (147), Botswana (146) and Lesotho (145). The United States ranks at 19th place for happiness, while New Zealand (9), Australia (11), Germany (13, Canada (14) and the United Kingdom (17) also featured in the top 20. Overall, the index showed little change in happiness levels compared to last years' report, which was based on information from before the Covid-19 pandemic. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-22 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Is the last ranked country in a happiness list actually the saddest? Should there be a cut off point in such a list because countries below that point can't be accurately described as happy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
