The happiest countries in the world in 2024 according to the World Happiness Report
How was the level of happiness measured?
The World Happiness Report is based on the average value obtained from the results of surveys for the three-month period from 2021 to 2023. Survey participants subjectively assessed their level of well-being, expressing positive and negative emotions.
The report was compiled using data from a global survey by Gallup. Participants were asked about their overall life using a scale from 0 to 10. Typically, about 1000 responses are collected annually from residents of each country. The happiness rating is based on the average of these scores over a three-year period.
Survey participants were asked to rate their positive emotions, such as laughter, satisfaction, and interest, as well as negative emotions, such as anxiety, sadness, and anger. At the same time, happiness scores may differ between countries more than the emotions themselves, as this is due to different life circumstances in different cultures.
