The first-ever World Happiness Report has just been released by the United Nations. It shows that the happiest countries in the world are in northern Europe, with Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, respectively, taking the top four spots. On a 0-10 scale, the average 'happiness' score for those countries is 7.6.Poland took a mediocre 53rd place in the happiness league, Rzeczpospolita wrote.
Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa were found to be least happy, with Togo at the bottom of the UN's report.
Happier countries tend to be richer countries, according to the survey. However, more important for happiness than income are social factors such as the strength of social support, the absence of corruption and a high degree of personal freedom.
At work, job security and good relationships do more for job satisfaction than high pay and convenient hours, the report suggests.
