It has the lowest crime rate: the country in Europe has become the happiest in the world for the 10th time in a row

Finland has once again retained the title of the world's happiest country according to the World Population Review, and this is the tenth year in a row. During this time, Finnish society has demonstrated a high level of social well-being, low income inequality, and low crime rates.

Many factors contribute to Finland's top ranking among the happiest countries. These include strong social support, an efficient healthcare system, and a fair educational environment.

This year's study covered 143 countries, and the Finnish scores were again the highest. The researchers took into account many aspects, such as economic situation, life expectancy, corruption, freedom of choice, and social support. Finland received a score of 7.741, which is significantly higher than other countries such as Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, the Daily Express notes.

One of the main factors of happiness in Finland is low income inequality. The difference between rich and poor in the country is much smaller compared to many other countries. At the same time, Finland is known for its high level of social support, including free education, universal health care, and state support for the unemployed. All these measures provide a sense of stability and security for every citizen.

Finland is also one of the safest countries, with a very low crime rate. This allows people to feel free and safe in everyday life. Parents are not afraid to let their children go to school unsupervised, because the public safety system works at all levels. For many people, this is an important factor in determining their overall quality of life.

The publication notes that a sense of security in the country is facilitated by various social programs that provide for Finnish society. Pension contributions, unemployment benefits, and other programs have helped him feel that the state cares about everyone. These social guarantees are the basis of the Finnish model of happiness, where people are not fully responsible for their own well-being.

The Finnish work culture also contributes to the overall happiness of citizens. In addition to generous paid vacation and the ability to work flexible hours, Finnish companies often offer parental leave and other benefits that help balance work and personal life.
