India & Happiness

The research suggests that happiness is a combination of how satisfied you are with your life and how good you feel on a day-to-day basis. Both of these are relatively stable—that is, our life changes, and our mood fluctuates, but our general happiness is more genetically determined than anything else.

Below is the list of the top 10 happiest countries around the globe:

 [1] Finland, [2] Denmark, [3] Norway, [4] Iceland, [5] Netherlands, [6] Switzerland,
 [7] Sweden, [8] New Zealand, [9] Canada, [10] Austria

The World Happiness Report for 2019 has put Finland on the top spot on the happiest country for the second consecutive year. According to the reports, Finland is the happiest country amongst 156 nations surveyed by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. India [140] has dropped down seven spots in the happiness rankings as compared to its 2018 [133] ranking. The immediate neighbors of India including Pakistan (67) China (93), Bhutan (95), Nepal (100), Bangladesh (125) and Sri Lanka (130) are way ahead in the happiness rankings. The report also admits that despite the increase in income level the people remains unhappy. Now the main question before government is to find out the reasons of unhappiness in the country because the happy people are the asset of the country and they can contributes to the economy. 

Various factors that determine the happiness levels of a country includes life expectancy, social support, income, freedom, trust, health and generosity, amongst others.

 Some of the reasons which are responsible for dropping the position in Happiness Index are listed below:

 1. Rapid urbanization
 2. Congestion in cities
 3. Environmental pollution
4. Problems of commute
5. Question of law and order
 6. Safety regarding women
 7. Worries about food and water safety
8. Insecure about their health
