The latest World Happiness Report, released on March 20, has once again ranked Finland as the happiest country in the world, a position it has held for eight consecutive years.
Finland continues to lead the list, followed by other Nordic countries such as Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, etc, which maintain their top rankings due to strong social support systems, high life satisfaction, and well-being across their populations.
For Ghana, the latest report places the country at 125th out of 147 nations, a drop from its 2023 position of 120th. Despite the slight decline, Ghana remains part of the larger global conversation on happiness and well-being. While the country's ranking may not be at the top, it reflects the challenges and societal factors that impact life satisfaction in Ghana. The report’s findings underscore how various factors, including economic stability, access to social services, and overall freedom, affect the happiness of a nation’s citizens.
Libya was highlighted as the highest-ranked African nation, securing the 79th spot globally. This marks a notable achievement for Libya, surpassing many of its neighbors in terms of life satisfaction and societal well-being, despite facing ongoing challenges. In comparison, Ghana’s ranking falls below other African nations, indicating that there is still work to be done in improving overall life satisfaction across the country.
The World Happiness Report examines several key variables, such as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and perceptions of corruption, to measure happiness levels. This year’s edition focused on the role of caring and sharing in contributing to people's happiness, showing significant differences in well-being both within and between nations. Globally, Finland remains the undisputed leader in happiness, while countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have seen their rankings decline, now standing at 24th and 23rd, respectively.
