The World Happiness Report is published as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solution Network which rank countries on various social parameters like social support, GDP per capita, health-life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and absence of corruption. The drop in the level of happiness comes not only in terms of inequality of income but also inequalities in the distribution of health-care and educational facilities of a country.

Finland has been ranked the first happiest country on this list beating Norway this time. The United States which was ranked 14th last year has dropped down to 4 places and is in the 18th position now.
