The United Nations released it’s annual report ranking the happiest countries from 1 to 156.
According the United Nations:
“The main focus of this year’s report, in addition to its usual ranking of the levels and changes in happiness around the world, is on migration within and between countries.”
“The overall rankings of country happiness are based on the pooled results from Gallup World Poll surveys from 2015-2017, and show both change and stability.”
…
“All the top countries tend to have high values for all six of the key variables that have been found to support well-being: income, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust and generosity. Among the top countries, differences are small enough that that year-to-year changes in the rankings are to be expected.”
The Republic of Burundi, located in East Africa, rounds out the list of the least happiest country on earth.
