Finland has once again become the happiest country in the world.
That is according to the report issued yesterday (20) for the Inte ational Day of Happiness.
‘Happiness’ has been named as one of the goals of sustainable development of the United Nations.
It aims to call for ‘a more equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all people’.
Sri Lanka suffered from severe economic, financial and political crises last year, with insufficient levels of fuel and domestic gas, extensive power cuts and soaring inflation rates being just the tip of the iceberg.
Meanwhile, Denmark, Iceland, Israel, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg and New Zealand being in the top 10, in that order respectively.
Global happiness averaged at around 5.5 out of 10 this year, indicating a decrease of 0.1 from last year.
