Happiest countries

The University of Michigan's World Values Surveys (WVS) has compiled data on the happiest countries in the world for over twenty years. Their results are considered the most authoritative by happiness researchers. WVS measures the happiness of individuals by two different means. The first is to simply ask them how "happy" they are. The second is to ask them how "happy" they are, and also how "satisfied" they are.  The results are then combined to arrive at a measure of their "subjective well-being," a term generally considered synonymous with happiness.

Canada is in tenth position. It isn’t a surprise, because Canada one of world richest, highly developed with the eighth-highest Human Development Index.

Second country, about which I want to talk, is Netherland. It is in ninth position it top 10 of Happiest countries. Situation is similar to Canada, very high Human Development index, rich country. But apart from  Canada, Netherland has its own few interesting options. For example prostitution is legalized, Euthanasia is legalized, drugs aren't legalized, but in special places some drugs can be sold.

And the last country about I want to talk is Columbia. I choosed this country because I was very stunned, then I saw the position what this country secured. Fourth. Country where civil war has been going since 1960, country with high corruption, drug, 47% of population are poor, But on the other hand life expectancy is 72 years (for example life expectancy at birth in Lithuania for men are only 66yaers), high education level.      

To sum up, maybe people are happy, when they can find good sites in their own life and country.
