Each year, three thousand respondents in 156 participating countries have been asked to evaluate their current lives on a scale from zero to ten, from “worst possible life” to “best possible”.
Through many years, Norway has been rated one of the happiest countries in the world!
These six main factors that represent various aspects of life are being used to measure countries’ degree of happiness:
1. GDP per capita
2. Healthy years of life expectancy
3. Social support (having someone to count on in times of trouble)
4. Trust (perceived absence of corruption in government and business)
5. Perceived freedom to make life decisions
6. Generosity (recent donations)
