Happiness rating
The World Happiness Map won't surprise you too much because year after year, people who are happy with their lives tend to remain within the same countries. In its annual report company Gallup Analyzed 143 countries, each of which surveyed 1,000 respondents to create the most accurate and truthful picture.
The top ten countries in the ranking by quality of life (Country Rankings by Life Evaluations in 2021-2023) look as follows:
1️⃣ Finland - 7,741;
2️⃣ Denmark - 7,583;
3️⃣ Iceland - 7,525;
4️⃣ Sweden - 7,344;
5️⃣ Israel - 7,341;
6️⃣ Netherlands - 7,319;
7️⃣ Norway - 7,302;
8️⃣ Luxembourg - 7,122;
9️⃣ Switzerland - 7,060;
🔟 Austria - 7,057.
Ukraine ranks only 105th with a score of 4.873, but in the context of the current situation in the country, this is a pretty good result.
Youth VS elderly
Separately, we also analyzed the level of happiness of people who belong to a certain age group. For example, in the survey of young people (aged under 30), the top ten happiest countries have slightly changed.

The difference between the happiness levels of pensioners and young people clearly shows the abundance of opportunities for young professionals and the lack of proper attention to older people, which is actually observed in our country. Iceland, Denmark and Finland are equally highly regarded by all segments of the population, making them excellent places to invest in real estate. Here you will spend the brightest days of your youth and enjoy a calm old age.
