The happiest country in the world - Denmark, Norway and Switzerland

Russia - sixty vosmaya

The World General Assembly of the United Nations experts issued a list of countries whose population considers himself the happiest. Among these countries - Denmark (first place in the ranking), followed by the order are Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Canada and so on. Russia in this list 68th and is adjacent to the countries such as Mauritania and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

To assess the level of happiness experts, psychologists, sociologists, economists and statisticians of various countries analyzed huge amount of data, taken largely from the results of interviews arranged by Gallup, which was attended by more than 150 countries around the world.

Researchers have developed six main criteria by which we can determine the approximate value of the pleasure of living in a country's GDP per capita, healthy life, availability of support in the immediate environment, freedom of life choices, corruption and magnanimity (generosity) of the population.



The average fortune of 150 countries - 5, 1 on a scale from 1 to 10, but the figures resemble the average temperature in the hospital: in every state its performance and its dynamics to improve the situation or whether, on the contrary, the fall of the pleasure of life . In general, over the past few years, the countries of the third world are happier and industrialized powers reported decreased feelings of well-being among residents.

Experts say that psychological factors such as depression or anxiety have an enormous impact on people's satisfaction with the state of affairs in the country, but they are often ignored by politicians and statesmen.

As the head of the Earth Institute at Columbia University Jeffrey Sachs:

«More and more world leaders talking about the close relationship between well-being and health of the population and socio-political processes in the country. Rating happiest countries will help us to understand how to raise living standards around the world and not only improve relations between people, but also to increase the efficiency of interaction of entire nations ».
