World's Happiest Country is Denmark
Quote:
Denmark is the happiest country in the world while politically unstable Zimbabwe ranks at the bottom, according to a U.S. government-funded study released this week.
The United States -- the world's richest nation -- ranked 16th among 97 countries in the World Values Survey.
The survey, paid for the U.S. National Science Foundation, found that happiness coincided with greater economic growth, democracy, and social tolerance.
By that measure, Denmark tops the list. Rounding out the top 10 are: Puerto Rico, Colombia, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada and Austria.
