Netherlands, the happiest country in the world | A Gallup World Poll survey has found that The Netherlands is the happiest country in the world. They surveyed thousands
of respondents in 155 countries, between 2005 and 2009, in order to measure two
types of well-being. The researchers first asked subjects to reflect on their
overall satisfaction with their lives, and ranked their answers using a 'life
evaluation' score from one to ten. They later asked questions about how each subject
had felt the previous day. Those answers allowed researchers to score their 'daily
experiences'--things like whether they felt well rested, respected, free of pain
and intellectually engaged. Subjects that reported high scores were considered
'thriving.' The percentage of thriving individuals in each country determined
the rankings. "They also found evidence that money does buy happiness," Forbes.com
reports. The researchers studied in the reasons why countries with high domestic
product won out for well-being and found an association between life satisfaction
and income. It was found in the survey that The Netherlands, Denmark , Finland
, Norway and Sweden are all clustered in the same region and all enjoy high levels
of prosperity. |
