Finland ranked world’s happiest country
Report
The World Happiness Report 2025, released on Thursday, ranks Finland as the happiest country for the eighth consecutive year.
Other Nordic countries, including Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, also remain at the top in the same order.
Aino Virolainen, a digital commerce director who has lived abroad, expressed her desire to return to Finland.
“It’s where I want to raise my kids and grow old,” she said, citing the peace, trustworthiness, and clean, fresh environment as key reasons.
The rankings were based on people’s self-rated life satisfaction, with the study conducted in partnership with Gallup and the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
Jon Clifton, CEO of Gallup, emphasised that happiness is about trust, connection, and community, rather than just wealth.
“To build stronger communities and economies, we must invest in each other,” he stated. (AP/NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
