World Happiness Report

The **World Happiness Report** is a publication that contains articles and rankings of national happiness, based on respondent ratings of their own lives, which the report also correlates with many (quality of) life factors.

Since 2024, the report has been published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, in partnership with Gallup, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and an independent editorial board. The editorial board consists of the three founding editors, John F. Helliwell, Richard Layard, and Jeffrey D. Sachs, along with Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, Lara Aknin, and Shun Wang.

The report primarily uses data from the Gallup World Poll. As of Febuary 2025, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world 8 times in a row.
