World Happiness Report, prepared by the UN, highlights Ukraine that rose in position amid war with Russia
A Finland was elected this Monday, 20, as the happiest country in the world for the sixth consecutive year, according to a report prepared by the UN. O Brazil it fell 11 positions in the ranking, and now occupies the 49th place in a list of 137. Since 2016, when the country occupied the 16th place, Brazil has been suffering a drop. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper ‘El País’ In 2018, the then Press and Culture Attaché at the Finnish Embassy in Spain said that the key to Finnish happiness is trust, both among its inhabitants and with regard to its politicians. “It is a very transparent society with many social support policies. In addition, it is a very safe and egalitarian country, ”she told EL País. The new UN report also highlighted the rise of brotherhood in Ukraine, which rose six places even during the 13-month conflict with Russia. “Well-being in Ukraine fell less than in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, and this is partly due to the extraordinary increase in the feeling of brotherhood,” said Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, one of the report’s editors, in a statement.
Ukraine moved up from 98th to 92nd in the previous list, which was released before the start of the Russian offensive. Despite the “magnitude of suffering and damage in Ukraine” after the Russian invasion in 2022, there is a “much stronger feeling that there is a common purpose, there is kindness and trust in the Ukrainian leadership”, compared to the year 2014, he added. . The World Happiness Report, first published in 2012, considers people’s own assessments of their situation, economic well-being and social indicators. Northern European countries completed the podium of the happiest in the world, with Denmark in second and Iceland in third. The surprise on the list was Israel, which rose five places and settled in fourth place. In contrast, Afghanistan remained at the bottom of the ranking, a position it has held since 2020 with the worsening humanitarian crisis since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, following the withdrawal of troops led by the United States.
