And we’re moving immediately.
What makes a country a happy place to live? It’s everything from life expectancy, social support to the levels of corruption in a country that are taken into consideration, and the World Happiness Report has ranked 156 countries to find what country has come out on top.
While it’s no surprise that the Scandinavian countries have yet again come out on top, it’s always interesting to see in what order they fall.
And coming from fifth place on last year’s table, this year’s winner is… Finland!
Finland tops 2018 UN global happiness index ???

But it wasn’t just the Scandinavian countries that made the list – here are the rest of the top ten happiest countries in the world.
