In his study UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network 143 countries participated.
This study has been published since 2012
Every year is bad for Greece
Our country was ranked 58th in last year's list and this year it is ranked 64th. In other words, six places have fallen this year compared to 2023.
The Nordic countries continue to hold the top spot, with Denmark, Iceland and Sweden far behind Finland.
The U.S. and Germany, after more than a decade, have dropped out of the top 20 happiest countries, ranking 23rd and 24th, respectively.
The US lost places because other countries – especially in the Eastern European region – managed to climb the list.
Instead, Costa Rica and Kuwait entered the top 20 with 12th and 13th place.
Eastern European countries Serbia, Bulgaria and Latvia also showed significant increases from last year.
This year's report is the first to include separate statistics by age group and provides grim news on how satisfied young people are with their lives in some parts of the world.
