About This Dataset

Countries by World Happiness Index 2025

Countries ranked by their score on the World Happiness Report 2025, which measures subjective wellbeing through life evaluations, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption perceptions. Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for eight consecutive years by 2025 — a streak that has focused international attention on Nordic social models, with researchers attributing the country's wellbeing to high social trust, quality public services, and cultural acceptance of contentment over status.
