The World’s Happiest Country
A recent study conducted by the University of Leicester (UK) concluded that Denmark, of 178 countries studied, was the happiest country in the world. Good access to education and healthcare seemed to be determinant factors.
However, Denmark’s suicide rate is the 2nd highest in Europe, and this motivated one Danish journalist to comment:
“I’m not sure about these studies and I really wonder about the suicide rates in Denmark. I mean is it that we’re so happy we kill ourselves? I really wonder about that.”
PS: France weighs in at 62nd place.
