Happiness is often hard to measure but one initiative at the United Nation is trying to figure it out. Every year, the U.N sustainable development solution network publishes the World Happiness Report — a study that examines the connection between happiness and development. To measure happiness, around 1,000 people in each U.N. member state rate their quality of life on a scale of 0 to 10. On the other hand, researchers culled data from six different aspects such as GDP Per Capita, Trust & Corruption, Life Expectancy, Social Report, Perceived Freedom To Make The Decisions, and Generosity.  

The World Happiness Report 2020 was released recently, and no surprise in knowing that  “Finland” ranked as the most happiest country in the world for the third year in a row.
