To create a global happiness map, the Ipsos poll asked people in 30 countries how happy they felt, how it had changed, and what they viewed as a source of happiness. The percentage scale shows the percentage of the population who consider themselves “very” or “rather” happy.
According to the final result, the Netherlands (86%) is the happiest country, followed by Austria (85%), China and Britain (83%).
The three countries on the platform are India, France, Saudi Arabia and Canada. Seeing the leaders of the list, it can be said that Happy countries have strong economies and/or high levels of prosperity. Although India and China may be exceptions to their large proportions of poor populations, cultural riches may also play a role in the bottom line.
According to the survey, Turkey has the least happy population (42 percent), while Argentina has one degree of happiness (48 percent). Hungary is 51 percent ahead of these countries, and 13 percent of Hungary’s population do not consider themselves happy at all.
According to a survey conducted by a survey, people all over the world consider their health and well-being (physical and mental), their families (partner/spouse and children) and determination as the main sources of happiness.
This is followed by factors such as their living conditions, sense of security and control, being in nature, purposeful work and more money. Research has also found that using social media or politics, for example, does not improve the happiness of world citizens.
