Doha, Qatar: Finland has once again secured its position as the world's happiest country for the seventh consecutive year, according to the latest rankings released by the World Happiness Report.
This annual report analyzes data from 143 countries over the past three years to assess happiness levels based on various factors.
The evaluation includes six key categories:
1. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita 2. Social support 3. Healthy life expectancy 4. Freedom to make life choices 5. Generosity of the population 6. Perceptions of internal and external corruption levels
Researchers established a baseline "Dystopia" to compare countries' performances across these categories, with Finland consistently emerging as the top performer.
