Hungary is not a happy country

Vs.hu writes that according to the results of a new survey, Hungary is in the middle field when it comes to happiness, while Denmark is in the first place.

The survey was carried out by Columbia University’s Earth Institute. This is the 2016 edition of their World Happiness Report that they’ve been doing since 2012. They set up a ranking of the countries according to their level of happiness. They took income per person, life expectancy in health and the rate of social support and corruption as basis to rank 157 countries of the world. Hungary finished in the 91^st place.

It also turned out that the top ten countries’ composition hasen’t changed in the last year. Last year’s winner Switzerland fell to the 2^nd place, while the 3^rd place was given to Iceland. You can also find Norway, Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and Sweden among the ten happiest countries. Israel finished in the 11^th place and it is followed by Austria, the USA, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.

According to vs.hu, we can find Hungary at the end of the middle field in the company of countries like Morocco in the 90^th place, Pakistan in the 92^nd place and Greece in the 99^th place. The latter belongs to those countries, on the side of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, that fell back the most, compared to last year’s level of happiness. On the other hand, Germany moved forward ten places, since it finished in the 16^th place, whereas it was only the 26^th last year.
