The 2020 World Happiness Report, which is the eighth annual report, is out. The report is compiled by a group of independent experts and is produced by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. It uses six variables to measure the quality of life in more than 150 countries in the world: GPD per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and absence of corruption.

What do you think of the results? Is your country in the top 20? (Japan is 62). I was surprised to see the US so high; it seems pretty sad right now. Maybe this was compiled before the pandemic.
