The ten happiest countries to live in the world; many of these countries are seen as the world’s safest countries are :
10. Austria
Austria scored particularly highly in social support and its citizens’ freedom and was undoubtedly helped by its capital Vienna – now widely regarded as the world’s most liveable city. 73% of Austrians are satisfied with their lives despite high levels of air pollution and schools that are less than stellar. Maybe the lower-than-average crime rate explains why Austrians feel so good. The Alps cover around 62% of Austria, making it one of the most scenic and extensive skiing destinations.
9. Canada
Although Canada is still ranked as one of the happiest nations globally, it did drop two spots from last year. Canada still ranks high across pretty much every category with great life expectancy married to a still small population with more than enough room to spread out and find their corner of paradise. According to the report, part of Canada's high happiness score also comes from its tolerant approach to multiculturalism via programs that promote inter-ethnic understanding.
8. New Zealand
New Zealand remains a relaxed, welcoming wonderland that loses none of its appeal, whether you’re on vacation or based there permanently. The people here don't emphasize work, spend lots of time outside, and aren't overly concerned about "personal achievement" or status. New Zealand is also known for beautiful landscapes, outdoor adventure sports, including Bungy jumping, jet boating, sky diving, and significant climate, good food.
7. Sweden
Sweden has benefitted from excellent social support and a high life expectancy. The Swedish government lists perks such as long parental leave policies, free schooling, and baby-friendly public areas. Health care and college education are free, and its people boast one of the longest life expectancies in the world.
6. Switzerland
It’s one of the world’s wealthiest countries and has been well-known for centuries for its neutrality. Their welfare and healthcare programs are amongst some of the best in the world. The average life expectancy is 83; they are multilingual, with most citizens understanding German, French, and English. The Swiss see public transportation as a right; they've got a bus system that ensures no one in the country has to walk more than 10 minutes to get to public transportation.
5. The Netherlands
A country in northwestern Europe is known for a flat landscape of canals, tulip fields, windmills, and cycling routes. The country’s also renowned for livability, progressiveness, and work-life balance. The pace of life and freedom are solid points that smile on many residents’ faces. Famously relaxed and welcoming, their particular lifestyle brand has propelled them to the fifth happiest country on Earth.
4. Iceland
The island nation was rated to be the most peaceful nation on Earth. Beautiful landscapes that make you feel like you’re wandering through Middle Earth. By far the world’s most equality-driven country, tiny Iceland’s isolation has been a boon rather than a burden to its equally tiny population. Iceland offers a relatively low-income tax, free health care, and free higher education to its citizens.
3. Norway
Norway’s consistently described as Europe’s most beautiful country that benefits from little to no corruption, phenomenal social support and freedom, and a regular top spot in the world’s prosperity indexes. Norway provides free education, public pensions, and universal healthcare for its residents and is widely considered an exemplar of social and economic success. People in Norway tend to have a great deal of social support, trust their government, and live a long life. Both the poverty rate and the gender pay gap are amongst the lowest in the world.
2. Denmark
Benefiting from excellent life expectancy and one of the smallest wealth gaps in the world. Denmark is a small country with a low crime rate and a low fear of crime. The Danish are generally well educated well informed. Denmark has a stable government, low levels of public corruption, and high-quality education and health care access. The country does have the highest taxes globally, but the vast majority of Danes happily pay: They believe higher taxes can create a better society.
1. Finland
Finland is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. It has the highest quality of life. The country of about 5.5 million people is home to around 300,000 foreign nationals, with its largest immigrant groups being from other European nations. It’s the only country in the developed world where fathers spend more time with school-aged children than mothers. In particular, the generosity of its people with little to no corruption and high GDP, married to the extraordinary freedom offered by its landscapes and social structure, makes it the place to live. And if you can’t live there, I highly recommend a visit to these countries.
