World Happiness Report | Mint Explains | Mint

The video talks about the World Happiness Report and how some countries rank above the other. It highlights different factors that contribute to the calculation of the happiness level. This year's report (WHR 2023) has caused some disbelief and dismissive noises from Indian policymakers, and outright derision on social media. While Finland and Denmark retain their number 1 and number 2 positions, and nobody is arguing about that, India sits at 126 out of 137 nations, which is not much of an improvement from 136 out of 146 in 2022. The survey uses the Cantril Ladder tool, which asks respondents to rate their happiness level on a ladder from 0 to 10. The report is released every year since 2013 and is supported by multiple organizations, including the UN non-profit Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
