World Happiness Report 2017

World Happiness Report 2017 score shown on a map of the world. Darker shades of green show a higher score with darker shades of red showing a lower one.

Norway has jumped from 4th place in 2016 to 1st place this year, followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland in a tightly packed bunch. All of the top four countries rank highly on all the main factors found to support happiness: caring, freedom, generosity, honesty, health, income and good governance.   

This year’s report emphasizes the importance of the social foundations of happiness. This can be seen by comparing the life experiences between the top and bottom ten countries in this year’s happiness rankings.  Source: World Happiness Report 2017
