World’s Happiest and UnHappiest Countries
According to a study conducted earlier(In the period of 2005 to 2009), the team at Gallup has come up with a list of Happiest Countries and Unhappiest countries. If you would like to know it, read on.
Note: this is somewhat old news. So if you have heard about this before, I am sorry, otherwise enjoy.
The first 5 countries from the “happiest countries list are from Europe.
The Happiest Countries are:
1. Denmark
In Denmark around 82 percent of people find it easy to make their lives. 17% people are struggling to make the ends meet and just 1% of their people are suffering.
2. Finland
Thriving – 75%, Struggling – 23% and suffering: 2%
3. Norway
Thriving – 69%, Struggling – 31% and suffering: 0% <- no suffering people!
4. Sweden
