Happiness Index- A drop evening nation needs!

      *The Unusual Sunday Drop!* #016

_a weekly WA Series_  

Happiness Index self-assessed life evaluations, using a scale from 0 to 10. Recent report released in March at the University of Oxford, Finland consistently ranks highest, demonstrating the importance of factors beyond just economic prosperity. Afghanistan's consistent ranking at the bottom.

Criteria Used for Ranking:

GDP per capita – economic strength of a country.

Healthy life expectancy – average life span in good health.

Social support – availability of help from family or friends.

Freedom – perceived freedom to make life choices.

Generosity – willingness of people to help others.

Perception of corruption – trust in public institutions.






Factors provide sense to uplift Joy-

India should be addressing issues like poverty, inequality, and environmental challenges to see the progressive shift in the HI. Aiming on local public facilities by government like hospitals, water supply, travel, lavatories, gardens.

Festivals also play crucial roles in the behaviour of the country citizens. India has 7 main religions and 36 Popular Festivals. Country should absorb major benefits of these festivals celebrated across the country.

It is said that “Richer doesn’t always mean Happier” USA rack lower than the small nations when it comes to HI. If we study and compare various aspects it is to Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, and the Netherlands when it comes to Happiness Index, we see these country’s government primarily focus on social welfare i.e. food, shelter, healthcare, and education. Finland's beautiful natural environment, with its vast forests and numerous lakes, provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation, which are highly valued by citizen of Finland.

I prompt my pencil to rest here, and take a time out by mentioning my final word: Joy and Happiness is not about the numbers, whether or not country ranks top what matters is people’s willingness to adapt the happiness. Person should believe in value of Simplifying the life. They should help others in volunteering build relations. Practice Thankfulness towards society. Take care of their own physical health.

Do let me know in comments what makes You, City, Nation, County, People of this planet to be happy? Don’t stress thinking too much. Stay Happy :)
